Description
There's a reason the 1873 pattern never went out of style, and the Old Randall from Taylors & Company leans into that heritage hard. Inspired by the famous Kentucky and West Virginia family feud era, this single-action six-shooter skips the high polish in favor of a working gun look: matte blued forged steel frame and barrel, a case hardened hammer, and matte brass on the backstrap and trigger guard. It reads like a revolver that spent its life in a saddle holster instead of a display case, and that subdued finish is exactly what draws people to this model.
Old Randall Details That Matter
The 4.75-inch barrel is the classic gunfighter length, quick out of the leather and easy to carry all day at around 2.45 pounds. Chambering it in .357 Magnum was a smart call too, since you can run full magnum loads when you want the thump or feed it mild .38 Special for cheap, easy-going range sessions. Sights are period correct with a fixed blade up front and a notch cut into the frame at the rear, and the six-round cylinder rounds out the traditional package. The Navy-size walnut grip is a touch slimmer than the standard Army style, which a lot of folks find points more naturally and suits medium-sized hands well.
Uberti Craftsmanship Behind the Taylors & Company Name
Like the rest of the Taylors lineup, the Old Randall is manufactured by Uberti in Italy, a name that has set the standard for reproduction single actions for decades. Fit and finish on these tend to be very good out of the box, with a crisp hammer draw and the four-click cadence that makes an 1873-style revolver so satisfying to handle. Whether you're getting into cowboy action shooting, want a wheelgun for trail carry and plinking, or just appreciate a revolver with real character, this one earns its spot in the safe. It looks the part, shoots modern ammo you can find anywhere, and won't make you nervous about putting wear on a glossy showpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot .38 Special through the Old Randall .357 Mag?
Yes. Like any revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, the Old Randall will also run .38 Special, which is a shorter round in the same case family. That makes it a great option for affordable practice and lighter-recoiling range days, then you can load up full magnums when you want more power.
Who makes the Taylors & Company Old Randall?
The Old Randall is built by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylors & Company. Uberti has been the go-to maker for 1873 Single Action Army reproductions for decades, and their fit, timing, and overall quality have a strong reputation among single-action fans.
What is a Navy-size grip and how does it feel compared to standard?
The Navy-size grip is slightly smaller and slimmer than the standard Army-style single-action grip. Many people find it points more naturally and fits small to medium hands better, especially with one-handed shooting. It also rolls in the hand a bit under recoil, which is part of the classic single-action feel.
Is the Old Randall a good choice for cowboy action shooting?
It's a solid fit. The 4.75-inch barrel is a favorite length in cowboy action matches because it clears leather fast, and the .357 Magnum chambering lets you run soft .38 Special cowboy loads. The matte finish is also a plus for a match gun since holster wear blends right in.
