There is a reason the 1873 pattern single action never went out of style, and the Ranch Hand from Taylors & Company shows exactly why. This one wears a 5.5 inch blued barrel, a color case hardened steel frame with those swirling blues and grays that make every gun unique, and a polished brass backstrap and trigger guard that gives it real presence in the hand or the display case. The smaller Navy-size walnut grip fills the palm the way the old originals did, and it rolls naturally under recoil the way a plow-handle grip should.
Underneath the good looks, the Ranch Hand is built on the Cattleman new model forged frame, made by Uberti in Italy for Taylors & Company. Forging gives the steel better grain structure and strength than cast frames, which is why these revolvers hold up so well to heavy use, whether that means cowboy action matches or riding around in a truck on the property. The blade front sight and notched rear are simple, rugged, and true to the original design.
The .357 Magnum chambering is one of the most practical choices you can make in a single action. Full-power magnum loads carry plenty of authority for the field, while inexpensive, soft-shooting .38 Special ammo makes plinking and practice easy on both your wrist and your wallet. Six rounds in the cylinder, about 2.3 pounds of all-steel heft, and a hammer that cocks with that satisfying four-click cadence make this a genuinely fun revolver to run.
Care is straightforward. The blued and case hardened steel gets the same routine cleaning and light oil as any traditional revolver, and the brass grip frame shines right back up with a dab of metal polish. Give it a little attention and this is the kind of six-gun that gets handed down, not traded in.
Yes. Like any revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, the Ranch Hand safely fires .38 Special ammunition as well. That makes range days cheaper and softer on the hands, and it is a big part of why the .357 chambering is so popular in single actions. Just give the chambers a good cleaning afterward since the shorter .38 cases can leave a carbon ring.
The Ranch Hand is manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylors & Company. Uberti has built its reputation on faithful reproductions of classic American single actions, and this one is built on their new model 1873 Cattleman forged steel frame. Taylors handles the importing, spec work, and support here in the States.
Brass will develop a patina over time, which some folks like and some do not. If you prefer the bright look, a metal polish like Flitz brings the shine right back with a few minutes of hand rubbing. The blued and case hardened steel just needs standard cleaning and a light coat of oil like any traditional revolver.
It is a solid pick for the sport. The forged frame gives it the strength to handle the round counts of regular competition, and the traditional 1873 pattern, Navy-size grip, and fixed sights fit right in at a match. The .357 chambering lets you run light .38 Special loads, which are the go-to choice for most cowboy action competitors.
