There's a reason the Gunfighter series keeps showing up at cowboy action matches. Taylor's took their proven 1873 single action, built it on a forged steel frame, and swapped the usual Navy-size grip for the longer, slightly wider 1860 Army grip. If you've ever handled a standard Cattleman and felt like your pinky was hunting for a place to live, this is the fix. The Deluxe version goes a step further with Taylor Tuned action work, meaning the internals get hand-fitted at the shop for a smoother hammer draw and a cleaner, lighter trigger break than you'll find on a box-stock single action.
Chambered in .357 Magnum, this six-shooter also runs .38 Special all day long, which keeps practice affordable and recoil mild for long match days. The 5.5 inch barrel is the sweet spot for a single action, long enough for a proper sight radius with the blade front and frame-notch rear, short enough to clear leather quickly. At around 36 ounces, it has enough heft to soak up magnum recoil without feeling like a boat anchor on your hip.
The forged frame is more than a talking point. Forging gives the steel better grain structure than casting, so this revolver is built to handle years of competition round counts. The color case hardened frame against the polished blued barrel and cylinder is the finish combination that defined the period, and the smooth walnut Army grip ties it together. It looks right in a display case and works right in a holster.
Cowboy action competitors who want tuned internals without paying a gunsmith, larger-handed folks tired of cramped plow-handle grips, and anyone who wants a working single action with genuine period character. Load six rounds of .38 for the range or .357 for the trail, and it does both jobs without complaint.
Yes. Since it's chambered in .357 Magnum, it safely fires .38 Special as well. Most cowboy action competitors run light .38 loads for faster follow-up shots and cheaper practice, then switch to .357 when they want the full-power experience.
The Deluxe designation means the revolver gets Taylor Tuned action work before it ships. The internals are hand-fitted and polished for a smoother hammer pull and a cleaner trigger break. It's essentially a factory action job that would otherwise cost you a trip to the gunsmith.
The Gunfighter series uses the 1860 Army-size grip instead of the smaller Navy grip found on most Cattleman-style revolvers. It's longer and a bit wider, which gives folks with medium to large hands a much fuller purchase. If standard single-action grips leave your pinky hanging, this frame solves it.
Taylor's & Company partners with Uberti of Italy, one of the most respected makers of traditional single-action reproductions, and the Deluxe models receive Taylor's own hand tuning stateside. The forged frame construction is a step up from cast frames and is built to handle heavy competition use for years.
