Plenty of 1873-pattern revolvers look the part. The Taylor's & Company Gambler goes a step further with details you notice the moment you pick it up. The fancy checkered walnut grip gives your hand real purchase when the gun rolls back under recoil, something smooth grips just can't match on a plow-handle frame. Pair that with a color case hardened frame that shows off natural swirls of blue, straw, and gray, and you've got a six-gun that stands out on a table full of standard Cattlemans.
Underneath the good looks is a forged steel New Model Cattleman frame, and that matters more than most spec sheets let on. Forging gives the steel a tighter grain structure than casting, which translates to a revolver that holds up to the round counts cowboy action competitors put through their guns season after season. The Gambler is made by Uberti in Italy, the same shop trusted by single action fans for decades, and the fit and finish reflect it. The action gives you that classic feel old-west enthusiasts expect, with a floating firing pin for an added measure of modern peace of mind.
The 5.5 inch blued barrel is the sweet spot for a single action. It balances naturally in the hand, clears leather quicker than a 7.5 inch gun, and still gives the .45 Colt cartridge enough runway to do its work. Sights are period-correct with a fixed blade up front and a notch in the topstrap, and the blued cylinder holds six rounds of America's original big-bore sixgun cartridge. At around 36 ounces, it soaks up recoil from cowboy loads without wearing out your arm.
Whether you're chasing clean stages at a cowboy match, plinking steel on the weekend, or just want a proper single action with more character than the base models, the Gambler delivers the goods. It's a working revolver first, but nobody will blame you for setting it out just to look at it.
Taylor's & Company imports the Gambler, but the revolver itself is built by A. Uberti in Italy, one of the most respected names in reproduction single actions. It even ships in an Uberti box. You get Uberti's fit and finish backed by Taylor's stateside support.
Yes, that's exactly what it was built for. The frame is forged rather than cast, which gives the steel a tighter grain structure and better durability under the high round counts of competition. The 5.5 inch barrel is also a popular length for match work since it balances well and clears the holster fast.
This model is chambered in .45 Colt, sometimes called .45 Long Colt, the original 1873 cartridge. It is not set up for .45 ACP, which is a shorter rimless round designed for semi-autos. Stick with quality .45 Colt ammunition and it will run happily.
The big upgrade is the fancy checkered walnut grip, which gives you noticeably better traction than the smooth grips on standard models. Buyers also tend to comment that the color case hardening on the Gambler has a rich, natural look. Mechanically it shares the same proven forged-frame Cattleman design.
