Some single actions are built to blend in. This one is not. The Taylors & Company Pietta 1873 Cattle Brand takes the familiar Single Action Army pattern and dresses it up with a full nickel-plated finish covered in laser-engraved cattle brand markings, the same kind ranchers burned into their herds across the open range. Every surface has something going on, from the barrel to the cylinder to the steel frame, and the ivory-style Navy-size grips set it all off. It draws attention at the range and looks just as good in a display case.
Underneath the engraving is a properly built Pietta single action. The 5.5 inch round barrel gives you a solid sight radius through the fixed blade front and notched rear sights, and the six-shot cylinder is chambered in .357 Magnum, which means it also runs .38 Special for softer, cheaper practice sessions. At around 2.4 pounds with an 11 inch overall length, it has that natural balance the 1873 pattern is known for, the kind that points like an extension of your hand.
The exposed hammer, half-cock loading, and one-at-a-time ejection are all part of the traditional experience, and Pietta has been making these guns long enough to get the timing and lockup right. Whether you shoot cowboy action matches, enjoy slow-fire plinking with a piece of history in your hand, or collect western-style revolvers, this one covers the shooting side and the looking-good side in equal measure.
Plenty of companies make an 1873 clone. Very few make one with this much character. The cattle brand engraving gives it a story to tell, the nickel finish resists the elements better than bare steel, and the .357 chambering keeps it practical instead of purely decorative. It is a working tribute to the cowboy era, built with modern manufacturing behind it and backed by Taylor's & Company's reputation for quality Italian reproductions.
Yes. This model is chambered in .357 Magnum, and any revolver chambered in .357 Mag will safely fire .38 Special as well. That makes range days cheaper and softer on the hands, while still giving you the option to run full-power magnum loads when you want them.
The cattle brand pattern is laser engraved over the nickel-plated finish. That keeps the design crisp and consistent from gun to gun, and the motifs are based on real cattle brands used by ranchers in the American West. It gives you hand-engraved looks without the custom shop price tag.
It is manufactured by F.lli Pietta in Italy and imported by Taylor's & Company out of Virginia. Pietta has decades of experience building Single Action Army reproductions, and Taylor's inspects and stands behind the guns they bring in. It is a well-established partnership in the cowboy gun world.
It works well for it. The 1873 pattern is the classic choice for cowboy action matches, and the .357/.38 Special chambering is one of the most popular in the sport. The 5.5 inch barrel is a nice middle ground too, giving you a usable sight radius without feeling slow out of the leather.
