Description
Taylor's & Company built the Old Randall as a nod to the most famous family feud in American history, the Hatfields and McCoys, and the styling fits the era perfectly. This is a Model 1873 pattern single action with a matte blued forged steel frame, a case hardened hammer, and a matte brass backstrap and trigger guard that gives it that unmistakable old-frontier look. The Navy-sized walnut grip is trim and comfortable, and it pairs nicely against the subdued blued finish. Nothing about this revolver is flashy for the sake of it. It's clean, purposeful, and looks like something that could have ridden through the 1880s.
Old Randall Craftsmanship, Uberti Built
Like the rest of the Taylor's single action lineup, the Old Randall is manufactured by Uberti in Italy, and the fit and finish shows it. The cylinder is half fluted and matte blued to match the barrel and frame, the action cycles with that satisfying four-click cadence single action fans know well, and the whole package balances beautifully in the hand. At 11.1 inches overall and around 2.5 pounds, the 5.5 inch barrel version hits a sweet spot between sight radius and handling speed.
Shooting the Old Randall .357 Mag
The .357 Magnum chambering makes this one of the more versatile ways to own an 1873. Run soft-recoiling .38 Special for cowboy action matches and relaxed range sessions, then load full-power magnums when you want the big bark. The fixed blade front and notch rear sights are true to the original design, simple and snag-free. Six rounds in the cylinder, a smooth trigger, and ammo that's easy to find make this a revolver you'll shoot often, not just admire.
Whether you're getting into cowboy action shooting, adding a period-correct sixgun to the safe, or just want a single action that feels right the moment you pick it up, the Old Randall delivers the goods without cutting corners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Old Randall shoot .38 Special as well as .357 Magnum?
Yes. Like most .357 Magnum revolvers, the Old Randall will safely fire .38 Special from the same cylinder. That makes it a great match gun since .38 Special is soft shooting, affordable, and the standard choice for cowboy action competition.
Who makes the Taylors & Company Old Randall?
Taylor's & Company imports the Old Randall from Uberti in Italy, one of the most respected makers of 1873 single action reproductions. Uberti's fit, finish, and attention to period detail are a big part of why these revolvers have such a strong reputation among single action fans.
Is the Old Randall suitable for cowboy action shooting?
Absolutely. It's a Model 1873 pattern single action with fixed sights, a smooth trigger, and a Navy-sized grip, which checks all the boxes for cowboy action matches. Running .38 Special loads keeps recoil light for fast, repeatable shooting on the clock.
What's the story behind the Old Randall name?
Taylor's designed this model with the famous Hatfield and McCoy feud in mind, the legendary clash between two families along the Kentucky and West Virginia border. The muted matte blue finish, brass hardware, and walnut grip give it the look of a working revolver from that era rather than a polished showpiece.
