Some revolvers get bought to shoot, and some get bought to admire. The 1873 Cattle Brand from Taylors and Company manages to do both. Built by Pietta in Italy, this single action wears a nickel-plated finish with laser engraving that features actual cattle brands used across the American West, a detail that sets it apart from your typical scroll-engraved sixgun. The Navy-size simulated ivory grip against all that bright nickel gives it the kind of look that turns heads at the range before you ever thumb back the hammer.
Under the decoration, this is a proper Colt Single Action Army pattern revolver with a forged steel frame, exposed hammer, and the classic fixed blade front and notched rear sights. It holds six rounds of .45 Colt, the cartridge that defined the era, and the 5.5 inch barrel splits the difference nicely between the quick-handling 4.75 and the long 7.5 inch Cavalry length. At 2.4 pounds with an overall length of 11 inches, it balances the way a Peacemaker clone should, settling naturally into the hand with that familiar plow-handle grip angle.
Don't let the engraving fool you into thinking this one belongs behind glass only. Pietta has been building 1873 pattern revolvers for decades, and the steel frame and solid lockwork here will hold up to regular Cowboy Action matches and steady range sessions with standard .45 Colt loads. The single action trigger breaks clean, and the fixed sights keep things simple and period correct.
Plenty of companies sell nickel single actions, but few offer engraving with a genuine story behind it. Whether you're rounding out a collection, looking for a match gun with personality, or just want a sixgun that feels like it walked out of 1880s Texas, this one delivers the goods without asking custom-shop money for it.
Instead of standard scrollwork, the Cattle Brand series features laser engraving based on real cattle brands used by ranches in the Old West. It covers the nickel-plated frame, barrel, and cylinder, giving each gun a distinctive Western character you won't find on typical factory-engraved single actions.
It's built to shoot. Pietta manufactures this on the proven 1873 Single Action Army pattern with a forged steel frame, so it handles regular match use with standard .45 Colt loads just fine. Plenty of folks run engraved guns in SASS competition, and this one looks great doing it.
Pietta of Italy manufactures the revolver, and Taylors & Company imports and distributes it here in the States. Pietta has been building quality 1873 pattern reproductions for decades, and Taylors backs the guns with their own support, so you get the best of both.
No, they're simulated ivory made from a durable synthetic material in the Navy grip size. You get the classic ivory look without the fragility or cost of the real thing, and the polymer holds up much better to regular handling and range use.
