Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Most 1873 reproductions come with the standard Navy-size grip, and if you have larger hands you know the feeling of your pinky hanging off the bottom with nowhere to go. Taylors & Company fixed that with the Gunfighter. They fitted the longer, fuller 1860 Army grip frame to the Cattleman, and the difference is something you feel the second you pick it up. Your whole hand gets a seat, and the gun rolls more predictably in recoil when you feed it full-power .45 Colt loads.
This one comes out of the Uberti factory in Italy, and the fit and finish show it. The frame is forged steel rather than cast, which gives it better grain structure and strength, and it wears a color case hardened finish that pairs nicely with the blued 4.75 inch barrel and blued cylinder. Smooth walnut grips round out the look. Sights are traditional single action fare, a fixed blade up front and a notch in the frame at the rear, and the loading gate sits on the right side where it belongs. At around 2.3 pounds and just over 10 inches overall, it balances the way these guns did when the design was new.
The 4.75 inch barrel is the length most people picture when they think of a single action army revolver, and there is a reason it stuck around. It clears leather quicker than the 5.5 inch version, carries easier on the hip, and still gives up very little on the accuracy front. That makes this a natural pick for cowboy action matches, where the forged frame and Army grip help you run stages comfortably all day, and it is just as at home rolling cans on a lazy Saturday or riding along as a trail companion. Six rounds of .45 Colt in a gun that looks and handles like the originals, with the grip a lot of us wished the originals had.
The big difference is the grip frame. The Gunfighter uses the longer 1860 Army grip instead of the smaller Navy-size grip found on most Cattleman models, which gives larger hands full purchase on the gun. It also rides on a forged steel frame rather than a cast one, which adds strength and makes it a solid pick for high-volume cowboy action use.
Taylors & Company imports it, but the gun itself is built by Uberti in Italy. Uberti has been making single action reproductions for decades and is widely regarded as one of the best in the business for fit, finish, and authenticity.
No, this model is chambered specifically for .45 Colt, also called .45 Long Colt. The .45 ACP is a rimless cartridge that will not headspace in these cylinders without a dedicated conversion cylinder, so stick with .45 Colt ammunition in this one.
It is a favorite among competitors. The shorter barrel clears the holster faster and swings between targets quicker than the 5.5 inch version, while still delivering plenty of accuracy at match distances. The Army-size grip also helps you keep a consistent hold through a full day of stages.
