Few handguns carry the kind of history the 1873 Single Action Army does, and Taylors & Company has built its reputation on getting these reproductions right. This one wears the classic Artillery-length 5.5 inch barrel, a color case hardened steel frame with those swirling blues and straw tones that make each gun look a little different, and deep blued steel on the barrel, cylinder, backstrap, and trigger guard. The smooth walnut Army-size grip fills the hand a bit more than the smaller Navy profile, which a lot of folks with medium to large hands end up preferring once they handle both.
Chambered in .45 Colt with a six-round cylinder, this revolver runs the same big-bore cartridge the originals were built around back in 1873. The 1-in-16 inch twist barrel stabilizes standard lead cowboy loads nicely, and at roughly 2.5 pounds the gun soaks up recoil well enough for long afternoons at the range or a full day of cowboy action matches. Sights are the traditional fixed blade front and notch rear, simple and period correct, and the plow-handle grip lets the gun roll in your hand under recoil just like it should. A manual cylinder pin safety is built in as well.
All-steel construction is the big story here. The backstrap and trigger guard are steel rather than brass or alloy, which gives the revolver an authentic heft and finish that holds up to real use. Whether you are getting into cowboy action shooting, adding a proper Peacemaker-style sixgun to the safe, or you just appreciate a revolver that looks and feels like the ones that tamed the frontier, this Taylors 1873 checks the boxes without cutting corners. The 5.5 inch barrel splits the difference between the quick-handling 4.75 inch and the long 7.5 inch cavalry length, making it an easy all-around pick for holster carry on the range, plinking, or display.
This model is chambered in .45 Colt, often called .45 Long Colt, the same cartridge the original 1873 Single Action Army was designed around. It is not the same round as .45 ACP, so be sure to pick up .45 Colt ammunition. Standard pressure and cowboy action loads are the right choice for this revolver.
The Army-size grip on this model is slightly larger and longer than the Navy profile found on many single actions. That extra real estate gives folks with medium to large hands a fuller, more secure hold. If smaller single action grips have always felt cramped to you, the Army grip is worth a serious look.
Absolutely, it is a natural fit. The traditional single action lockwork, fixed sights, 5.5 inch barrel, and .45 Colt chambering line up perfectly with what most cowboy action competitors run. The all-steel frame, backstrap, and trigger guard also hold up well to the round counts a match season demands.
No, and that is part of the appeal. Color case hardening produces unique swirls of blue, gray, and straw tones during the hardening process, so no two frames come out identical. Your revolver will have its own one-of-a-kind pattern that pairs nicely with the deep blued barrel and cylinder.
