Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Anyone who has spent time behind a standard Single Action Army knows the feeling: your pinky ends up curled underneath the grip with nowhere to go. Taylor's & Company fixed that with the Gunfighter. They took the proven 1873 Cattleman and fitted it with the longer, wider 1860 Army-size grip, so larger hands finally get full purchase on the walnut instead of hanging off the bottom. The checkered grip panels add traction when your palms get sweaty during a long match or a hot afternoon of plinking.
This Cattleman Gunfighter is manufactured by Uberti in Italy, a company that has been building Colt pattern revolvers as well as anyone in the business. The frame is forged rather than cast, which gives the steel better grain structure and strength, a real advantage if you plan to run this gun hard in cowboy action competition. The frame, loading gate, and hammer wear a color case hardened finish with all the swirling blues and browns you'd expect, while the 5.5 inch barrel and six shot cylinder are deep blued. Sights are the traditional fixed blade up front with a notched rear, just like the originals.
The .45 Long Colt chambering is the cartridge this platform was born with back in 1873, and it remains a joy to shoot. Cowboy loads are soft and pleasant, and the roughly 37 ounce all steel construction soaks up recoil so you can shoot all day without your hand complaining. Range reports on this model consistently show groups in the 2 to 3 inch range at 25 yards with a variety of loads, which is plenty of accuracy for steel targets, tin cans, or the occasional trail gun duty.
Plenty of companies sell SAA replicas. What sets this one apart is the combination of the forged frame, the Army-size grip, and Uberti's fit and finish, all backed by Taylor's & Company, an outfit that has been keeping the spirit of the Old West alive since 1988. Whether it's your first single action or the next addition to a growing collection, this is one of those revolvers that feels right the moment it clears the box.
The big difference is the grip. The Gunfighter uses the longer, wider 1860 Army-size grip frame instead of the standard Navy-size grip found on most SAA replicas. That extra room lets shooters with larger hands get all four fingers on the grip, which improves control and comfort, especially over a long day of shooting.
It's built by Uberti in Italy, one of the most respected makers of Colt pattern replicas in the world, and imported and distributed by Taylor's & Company. Uberti is owned by Beretta Holding, so quality control and materials are top notch. The forged frame is a step above the cast frames found on some budget single actions.
Absolutely, it's one of the more popular choices on the CAS circuit. The forged frame is built to handle the round count of regular competition, and the .45 Long Colt chambering with light cowboy loads is soft shooting and easy on the hands. The Army-size grip also helps with consistent draws and one-handed shooting.
Yes, it runs standard pressure .45 Colt loads without issue, from light cowboy loads up to typical factory 250 grain lead flat points. Stick with standard SAAMI pressure ammunition and avoid the heavy magnum-level loads made for Ruger and other oversized frames. With quality factory ammo, this revolver is capable of consistent 2 to 3 inch groups at 25 yards.
