The Runnin' Iron was born out of cowboy mounted shooting, dreamed up by folks who spent years running black powder blanks from horseback and knew exactly what a working single action needed. This Deluxe version takes that proven platform and adds two big upgrades: Taylor's exclusive short stroke action, which shortens the hammer throw so you can cock and fire faster with less hand movement, and the full Taylor Tuned treatment, meaning the internals are hand polished and fitted with custom springs before it ever leaves the shop. The result is a revolver that arrives ready to run, no gunsmith visit required.
Chambered in .45 Long Colt with a six round cylinder and a handy 3.5 inch barrel, this one carries the look of a proper frontier sixgun with the guts of a competition piece. The forged steel frame wears a color case hardened finish that plays beautifully against the Taylor polished blued barrel and cylinder, and the checkered one piece walnut grip is sized like the old Navy grips, which a lot of hands find quicker to control during fast strings. A lower, wider hammer spur and wide trigger make the gun easier to run under pressure, whether you're thumbing the hammer between balloons or working steel at a cowboy match.
Plenty of single actions look the part. Fewer are set up to compete the moment you open the box. Between the reduced hammer travel, slicked internals, and tuned springs, this is one of the smoothest running 1873 pattern revolvers you can buy off the shelf. Traditional blade front and notch rear sights keep it period correct, and the compact barrel keeps it balanced and quick from the holster. For cowboy action competitors, mounted shooters, or anyone who appreciates a genuinely refined sixgun, this Deluxe earns its name.
It shortens the distance the hammer travels when you cock it, which means less thumb movement and faster follow-up shots. It's a Taylor's exclusive feature aimed squarely at cowboy action and mounted shooting competitors, though anyone will notice how quick and easy the gun is to run. Combined with the low, wide hammer spur, it makes fanning through a stage noticeably smoother.
The Deluxe gets the full Taylor Tuned treatment before it ships, which includes hand polishing on the internal parts and the installation of Taylor's custom springs. The standard version keeps factory spring settings. In practice, the Deluxe arrives with a slicker action and lighter, smoother hammer pull right out of the box.
This is a traditional 1873 pattern revolver, so stick with standard pressure .45 Long Colt ammunition like cowboy action loads and factory standard rounds. It is not built for the hot, magnum-level loads intended only for heavy-frame modern revolvers. Fed a steady diet of standard loads, these guns will run reliably for a very long time.
Taylor's & Company imports these from Uberti in Italy, one of the most respected makers of traditional single action reproductions. Taylor's then adds its own touches, including the exclusive short stroke action and the in-house Taylor Tuned work on this Deluxe model. You get Italian craftsmanship with American competition tuning.
