Some revolvers just have a presence about them, and the Devil Anse is one of them. Taylor's & Company named this 1873 SAA pattern sixgun after Devil Anse Hatfield, the patriarch of the famous Hatfield and McCoy feud, and the styling fits the name. The blued barrel and cylinder sit against a color case hardened forged steel frame and case hardened hammer, while the matte black walnut grip keeps the whole thing looking lean and purposeful instead of flashy. It is a sharp departure from the standard single action finishes you see on every other rack.
This particular model comes with Taylor Tuning, which is Taylor's in-house action work. The hammer draw is smoother, the trigger breaks cleaner, and the whole mechanism feels broken in right out of the box. That matters whether you are running stages in cowboy action matches or just enjoy a Sunday afternoon of plinking with a proper thumb-buster. The 4.75 inch barrel is the classic gunfighter length, quick out of the leather and fast on target, and the balance on this frame size is excellent. The Navy-size grip runs a touch slimmer than a standard SAA grip, which a lot of folks find settles into the hand nicely, especially with medium or smaller hands.
Chambered in .45 Long Colt with a six round cylinder, this is the same pairing of gun and cartridge that defined the original 1873 Single Action Army. Loading is the traditional half-cock routine, one chamber at a time, with a spring loaded ejector rod to punch out empties. The blade front sight and fixed rear groove are regulated well for standard 250 to 255 grain loads, so it shoots where you point it with classic cowboy ammo. Whether it ends up working matches, riding along on the trail, or holding a place of pride in the safe, the Devil Anse brings genuine character that mass-produced wheelguns just do not have.
Taylor Tuning is Taylor's & Company's in-house action job performed before the revolver ships. It smooths out the hammer draw, cleans up the trigger break, and improves the overall feel of the lockwork. The result is a single action that feels like it has already been slicked up by a gunsmith, without you having to send it out for work.
It is a strong choice. The 4.75 inch barrel is quick from the holster and balances well, and the tuned action gives you a smooth hammer and a clean trigger, both of which matter when the timer is running. The fixed sights are regulated nicely for standard 250 to 255 grain cowboy loads too.
The Navy grip is modeled after the slimmer grip frame of the Colt Navy and runs a bit smaller than a standard Single Action Army grip. Many folks find it fits medium and smaller hands really well and helps the gun roll naturally in the hand under recoil. If you have shot an 1851 or 1860 pattern gun, it will feel familiar.
Like a traditional 1873 pattern single action, you set the hammer to half cock, open the loading gate, and rotate the cylinder to load one chamber at a time. Spent cases are pushed out one at a time with the spring loaded ejector rod. It is a slower process than a modern swing-out cylinder, but that is part of the charm of a classic sixgun.
