There is something about a single action army style revolver that never gets old, and the Taylor's & Company Ranch Hand nails the look and feel. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it pairs a 4.75 inch blued barrel and fluted six shot blued cylinder with a color case hardened steel frame, then dresses things up with a brass backstrap and trigger guard that catch the light the way an old west sixgun should. The smooth walnut grips are cut to the smaller Navy size, which a lot of folks with average or smaller hands find settles into the palm better than the bigger Army style stocks.
The Ranch Hand rides on the same new model forged frame as Taylor's Cattleman line, and that matters more than it sounds. Forged steel has a tighter grain structure than cast, so the gun holds up to steady range time and the round counts that come with cowboy action matches. The new model frame also uses a spring loaded plunger to release the cylinder pin, which makes takedown for cleaning quick and simple. Manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylor's & Company, the fit and finish here punch above the price point.
Operation is classic single action: cock the exposed hammer, press the trigger, repeat. Sights are a fixed blade up front with a notch in the topstrap, just like the originals. Since it is chambered for .357 Magnum, you can also run .38 Special through it, which keeps practice sessions cheap and recoil mild. At roughly 36 ounces with a 10.35 inch overall length, it has enough heft to soak up full power magnum loads while still balancing nicely at the 4.75 inch barrel length that Colt made famous.
Whether you are getting into cowboy action shooting, want a trail companion with real power, or just appreciate a proper sixgun with brass and case colors, the Ranch Hand is one of the best values in the traditional single action world.
Yes. Since it is chambered in .357 Magnum, it will safely fire .38 Special as well. That gives you softer recoil and cheaper practice ammo, which is a big plus for cowboy action matches or just casual plinking sessions.
The Ranch Hand is manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylor's & Company. Uberti has a long reputation for building quality reproductions of classic single action revolvers, and this one is built on a forged steel frame rather than a casting.
It shares the same new model forged Cattleman frame, but the Ranch Hand adds a brass backstrap and trigger guard along with smaller Navy size walnut grips. You get the same core revolver with a flashier, old school look, and it tends to come in at a friendlier price than many other Cattleman variants.
Absolutely, that is one of its main callings. The forged frame is built to handle the round counts of regular competition, the 4.75 inch barrel clears leather fast, and running .38 Special loads keeps it quick and controllable on the clock.
