Description
Named after the patriarch of the Hatfield clan from the famous Hatfield and McCoy feud, the Devil Anse is Taylor's & Company's take on what a hard-used working revolver from that era should look like. Instead of the usual color case frame and bright walnut most 1873 pattern revolvers wear, this one goes nearly all dark: blued forged steel frame, blued 4.75 inch round barrel, blued cylinder, and matte black wood grips in the slimmer Navy size. The case hardened hammer is the single point of contrast, and it works. Set this next to a standard Cattleman and it just looks meaner.
Why the .357 Devil Anse Makes Sense
The .45 Colt version gets the history points, but the .357 Magnum chambering is the practical pick for a lot of folks. It also shoots .38 Special, which means cheap, soft-recoiling practice ammo when you want to burn through a few boxes, and full-power magnum loads when you want the gun to bark. Out of a 4.75 inch barrel, .357 is a legitimately capable cartridge for trail carry or pest duty, and the roughly 2.4 pound all-steel build soaks up recoil better than you might expect from a plow-handle grip.
Built by Uberti, Backed by Taylor's
Like the rest of Taylor's 1873 line, the Devil Anse is manufactured by Uberti in Italy, and the fit and finish reflect that. You get a six-shot cylinder, traditional fixed sights with a blade front and frame notch rear, an exposed hammer, and a 10.36 inch overall length that balances nicely in the hand. Owners consistently describe these as solid, well-built revolvers that run smoothly right out of the box.
A Single Action With Its Own Personality
Plenty of 1873 clones look alike. This one doesn't. Whether you're into cowboy action shooting, building out a collection, or just want a single action that feels tied to a real piece of American history, the Devil Anse stands apart from the sea of standard-finish sixguns while still delivering everything that makes the 1873 pattern a classic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Devil Anse .357 Magnum shoot .38 Special?
Yes. Like any revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, it will safely fire .38 Special as well. That's a big part of the appeal here, since .38 Special is inexpensive and light on recoil for practice sessions, while full-house .357 loads are there when you want more punch.
Who makes the Taylors Devil Anse revolver?
The Devil Anse is manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylor's & Company. Uberti has been building 1873 pattern single actions for decades and is widely regarded as one of the best in the business, so the fit, finish, and function are on point.
What's the story behind the Devil Anse name?
The revolver is named for William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield, leader of the Hatfield family during the famous Hatfield and McCoy feud along the Kentucky and West Virginia border. Taylor's designed the gun's dark, all-business finish scheme with that piece of Appalachian history in mind.
How is the Devil Anse different from a standard 1873 Cattleman?
Mechanically it's the same proven 1873 single action platform, but the finish package is where it breaks from tradition. Instead of a color case frame, the Devil Anse wears a blued forged steel frame with the case hardening reserved for the hammer alone, plus matte black Navy-size wood grips. The result is a darker, more understated look that stands out next to standard single actions.
