The Winchester 1892 has a strong claim to being the best handling lever gun John Browning ever drew up, and this Taylor's & Company reproduction stays true to what made the original so popular. Built by Chiappa in Italy to Taylor's specs, it pairs a 20 inch octagonal barrel in deep blue with a color case hardened frame and a straight grip walnut stock. Set it next to an original and the family resemblance is unmistakable, right down to the dovetailed buckhorn rear and blade front sights.
Browning designed the 1892 as a scaled down version of his big 1886 action, which means you get a mechanically strong, slick cycling rifle sized for pistol cartridges. In .45 Colt, that translates to mild recoil, affordable practice with cowboy loads, and enough thump for hogs or deer inside reasonable distances with stouter ammunition. The full length magazine tube holds 10 rounds, so you can load up on Saturday morning and spend a while ringing steel before you reach for the ammo box again. At 6.2 pounds and 38 inches overall, it carries easy and swings fast, whether you're working a stage or walking a fence line.
This is where the Chiappa built guns earn their reputation. The case hardening on the frame shows real color and character, the octagonal barrel gives it that unmistakable old West profile, and the walnut furniture is properly fitted rather than slapped on. The 1:16 twist rifling is right where it should be for .45 caliber bullets, stabilizing everything from light lead cowboy loads to heavier hunting bullets.
Original 1892s were made by the million because they worked, and this reproduction carries that torch. Cowboy action competitors will appreciate the smooth action and quick handling, collectors will appreciate the period correct looks, and everyone else will appreciate that it's simply a pleasure to shoot. Some rifles are tools, some are safe queens. This one is happy being both.
Taylor's & Company imports this rifle from Chiappa Firearms in Italy, built to Taylor's specifications. Chiappa has a solid reputation for their 1892 reproductions, with well fitted wood and attractive case hardening. Taylor's handles the importing and backs the rifle here in the States.
This rifle is chambered in .45 Colt, also called .45 Long Colt, the classic rimmed revolver cartridge dating back to 1873. It is not chambered for .45 ACP, which is a shorter rimless cartridge that will not feed through this action. If you run a .45 Colt revolver, this rifle makes a perfect companion piece sharing the same ammo.
It's one of the more popular platforms in the game. The 1892 action is smooth and fast to cycle, the 6.2 pound weight and straight stock make it quick between targets, and the 10 round magazine covers standard stage requirements with room to spare. Plenty of competitors run Chiappa built 1892s right out of the box.
Yes, within sensible limits. With heavier hunting loads, .45 Colt from a 20 inch barrel picks up noticeable velocity over a revolver and handles deer and hogs well at woods distances, generally inside 100 yards. The buckhorn and blade sights are traditional and work fine at those ranges. Always check your specific ammo's suitability for game and confirm your zero with your chosen load.
