Description
Named after Devil Anse Hatfield, the patriarch at the center of the famous Kentucky and West Virginia feud, this Taylor's & Company single action carries a darker, moodier look than your typical 1873-pattern sixgun. Instead of the usual bright case colors and walnut, you get a blued forged steel frame, blued barrel and cylinder, and matte black Navy-size wood grips, with a case hardened hammer providing just the right touch of contrast. Set it next to a standard Cattleman and the difference jumps out immediately.
A Devil Anse Built for Real Shooting
Underneath the blacked-out styling, this is a proven 1873 single action chambered in .45 Colt, the cartridge these revolvers were built around from the beginning. The 4.75-inch barrel is the classic gunfighter length, quick out of a holster and well balanced in the hand, and the whole package comes in at a manageable 2.43 pounds with an overall length of 10.36 inches. Sights are traditional too, a fixed blade up front and a notch cut into the frame at the rear, keeping the lines clean and period correct. The six-round cylinder and crisp single action lockwork make it right at home in cowboy action competition, where .45 Colt remains the most popular chambering on the firing line.
Why the Devil Anse Stands Out
Plenty of folks own a standard 1873, but the Devil Anse gives you something you won't see at every match. The Navy-size grip frame fits smaller and medium hands especially well and gives the revolver a trimmer feel at the back end. Fit and finish on these Taylor's imports has earned a solid reputation, with smooth actions and clean trigger pulls right out of the box. Whether you're chasing faster stage times, rounding out a western collection, or just want a sixgun with some genuine character behind the name, this one delivers the goods without looking like everyone else's.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes the Taylor's & Company Devil Anse revolver?
Taylor's & Company imports this revolver from Uberti in Italy, one of the most respected makers of 1873-pattern single actions in the world. Taylor's spec'd out the Devil Anse with its distinctive blacked-out finish package, and the fit and finish on these has a strong reputation among cowboy action folks.
Can the Devil Anse shoot .45 ACP ammunition?
No, this model is chambered strictly for .45 Colt, also called .45 Long Colt. The two cartridges are not interchangeable since .45 ACP is a shorter rimless case designed for semi-autos. Stick with quality .45 Colt loads and this revolver will run happily for years.
Is the Devil Anse a good choice for cowboy action shooting?
It's an excellent choice. The 4.75-inch barrel is the classic gunfighter length that clears leather fast, .45 Colt is the most popular cartridge in the sport, and the 1873 platform is what cowboy action was built around. The unique dark finish also helps you stand out on the line.
What size hands do the Navy-style grips fit best?
The Navy-size grip frame is slightly smaller than the standard Army grip found on most 1873 revolvers. It tends to fit small and medium hands very well and gives the gun a trim, quick-handling feel. Larger hands can still shoot it comfortably, though the grip will feel more compact than a full-size Cattleman.
