There's a reason the 1873 Single Action Army silhouette never went out of style. The Taylor's & Company 1873 SA Army captures that iconic profile with a color case-hardened steel frame, deep blued steel parts, and a smooth walnut grip in the larger Army pattern. The steel backstrap and trigger guard keep the whole package traditional, and the 5.5 inch barrel splits the difference between the quick-handling 4.75 and the long-sighted 7.5, which is why it remains the most popular length among single action fans.
Chambering this one in .357 Magnum was a smart move. You get real thump when you want it, plus the ability to run mild .38 Special loads for cheap, easy-shooting range sessions and cowboy action matches. The six-shot cylinder feeds through the classic loading gate, and the fixed blade front and notch rear sights keep things simple, exactly the way this design has worked for 150 years. With an overall length of 11.10 inches and a weight around 2.5 pounds, the all-steel construction soaks up recoil better than you'd expect, even with full-house magnum loads.
The Army-size grip is worth calling out. It fills the hand more than the smaller Navy pattern, which shooters with medium to large hands tend to appreciate, and it lets the gun roll naturally in recoil the way a single action should. The 1-in-16 twist rifling stabilizes the full range of common .38 and .357 bullet weights, so it isn't picky about ammo.
Whether you're getting into cowboy action shooting, want a proper companion for your lever gun in the same caliber, or just appreciate thumbing back a hammer and taking your time with each shot, this revolver delivers the experience without fuss. Taylor's & Company has built its reputation importing well-fitted Italian reproductions, and this 1873 shows it in the finish work and lockup. It's a classic done right, at a price that leaves room in the budget for ammo.
Yes. Since it's chambered in .357 Magnum, it will safely fire .38 Special from the same cylinder. That makes it a great dual-purpose gun, since .38 Special is softer shooting and cheaper for high-volume range days or cowboy action matches, while .357 Magnum is there when you want more power.
The Army-size grip on this model is a bit larger and fills the hand more than the smaller Navy pattern found on many 1873 reproductions. Folks with medium to large hands generally find it more comfortable and easier to control, especially with stouter .357 Magnum loads. It also gives the gun that classic plow-handle roll in recoil.
Like the original Colt design, it loads one round at a time through a loading gate on the right side of the frame, with the hammer at half cock. Empties are pushed out with the spring-loaded ejector rod under the barrel. With traditional single actions like this, the time-honored practice is to load five and rest the hammer on an empty chamber.
Absolutely. The .357 Magnum chambering lets you run light .38 Special loads that are popular in cowboy action competition, and the 5.5 inch barrel is a favorite length for balancing sight radius with quick handling. The all-steel construction and traditional lockwork make it a solid match gun right out of the box.
