There's a reason the 1873 earned the nickname "The Gun That Won the West," and this carbine version from Taylors & Company keeps all that character in a trimmer, faster-handling package. Built by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylors, it wears a 19-inch round blued barrel, a blued frame, and a smooth walnut straight stock with the traditional carbine barrel band and flat butt plate. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it also feeds .38 Special without complaint, which makes range days cheap and recoil about as gentle as centerfire gets.
The carbine is the lightest 1873 variant Taylors offers, and you feel it the moment you shoulder one. It comes up quick, tracks moving targets well, and won't wear out your arms over a long match or an afternoon of plinking. That handiness is why so many cowboy action competitors gravitate toward the carbine configuration, and it's also a smart pick for smaller-framed or newer lever gun fans who find full-size rifles a bit much. The toggle-link action runs slick right out of the box, with the short, light lever throw that made the 1873 a favorite in the first place.
Sighting is handled old-school style with a ladder rear sight and blade front, exactly the setup you'd expect on a period-correct carbine. The steel frame carries an improved loading gate over the originals, so topping off the 10-round magazine tube is smoother than it was back in the 1870s. Fit and finish is where Uberti has built its reputation, and the deep bluing against oiled walnut looks the part whether it's riding in a scabbard or hanging over the mantle.
Between cowboy matches, small to medium game inside pistol-cartridge range, and pairing up with a .357 revolver for that classic one-cartridge setup, this carbine covers a lot of ground. It's a working reproduction of a genuine icon, made to be shot and enjoyed, not just admired.
Yes, like most .357 Magnum lever guns it happily runs .38 Special too. That's a big part of the appeal, since .38s are cheaper, softer shooting, and perfect for cowboy action matches or casual range time. Just note that magazine capacity can vary slightly between the two since .38 Special cases are shorter.
The rifle is manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylors & Company out of Virginia. Uberti has decades of experience building faithful reproductions of classic Winchester designs, and their fit and finish is well regarded. Taylors specs their own catalog of configurations, and this 19-inch carbine is one of them.
The carbine is the lightest variant in the 1873 family, with a 19-inch round barrel instead of the longer octagon barrel found on the rifle models. It also uses a carbine-style barrel band, a flat butt plate, and a ladder rear sight rather than a buckhorn. The result is a quicker-handling gun that's easier to carry and swing, which is why many match and youth-sized folks prefer it.
It's one of the most popular platforms in the sport. The 1873 toggle-link action has a short, smooth lever throw that cycles fast, and the light carbine build shoulders quickly between targets. Running .38 Special loads through it keeps recoil minimal so you can stay on the timer.
