There is a reason the 1873 pattern single action never went out of style, and the Taylors & Company 1873 Ranch Hand Deluxe shows off just about everything people love about it. The frame is forged rather than cast, which gives the steel better grain structure and strength, and it wears a Taylor Polished color case hardened finish that plays beautifully against the blued 4.75 inch barrel and six shot cylinder. The brass backstrap and trigger guard add that unmistakable flash you picture when you think of an Old West sixgun, and the smaller Navy-size smooth walnut grip settles nicely into the hand, especially for folks who find full Army-size grips a little bulky.
The Deluxe part of the name is more than cosmetics. Every one of these leaves with the Taylor Tuned treatment, which includes hand polishing of the internals, custom hammer and base pin springs, a lighter trigger spring, jig-cut positive angles on the trigger and sear, a coil-loaded hand, and a wire bolt spring. The result is a smoother hammer draw and a crisper, lighter trigger pull that would normally take a trip to a gunsmith to achieve. If you have handled a bone-stock single action next to a tuned one, you know the difference is night and day.
Chambered in .357 Magnum with a six round cylinder, this revolver will also happily run .38 Special, which keeps range days affordable and recoil mild. That flexibility, combined with the tuned action and forged frame, makes it a strong pick for cowboy action matches, steel plates, casual plinking, or duty as a trail companion. Fixed front and notched rear sights keep the sight picture period correct and snag free.
Plenty of single actions look the part. This one backs up the case colors and brass with real internal work, so it feels as good on the trigger as it looks in the holster. For anyone wanting a traditional sixgun that is ready to run right out of the box, the Ranch Hand Deluxe is tough to beat.
Yes. Since it is chambered in .357 Magnum, it will safely fire .38 Special as well. Plenty of owners run .38s for cheaper, softer-shooting practice and cowboy action loads, then switch to full-power .357 when they want more punch.
Every Ranch Hand Deluxe gets hand-polished internals, custom hammer and base pin springs, a lighter trigger spring, jig-cut positive angles on the trigger and sear, a coil-loaded hand, and a wire bolt spring. The end result is a noticeably smoother hammer draw and a lighter, crisper trigger pull compared to a standard factory single action. It is essentially gunsmith-level action work done before the gun ever ships.
The Navy-size grip is a slightly smaller grip frame profile than the standard Army style found on most 1873-pattern revolvers. Many people, especially those with small to medium hands, find it points more naturally and rolls comfortably in the hand under recoil. It is a popular choice among cowboy action competitors for fast, repeatable handling.
It is a natural fit. The forged frame gives it the strength for steady competition use, the tuned action helps with fast and consistent hammer work, and the case hardened frame with brass backstrap and trigger guard looks right at home on the firing line. Shooting light .38 Special loads through it keeps recoil mild for quick follow-up shots.
