The Taylor & Co TC9 1873 revolver 9mm 6rd 4.75 in is a single-action wheelgun that bridges a classic 19th-century silhouette with modern 9mm Luger practicality. Its color casehardened frame and blued steel parts, paired with a black checkered Navy-style plastic grip, deliver authentic Old West looks without sacrificing shootability. Whether you’re punching paper at the range or building a historical-style collection, this six-shooter runs on affordable, widely available 9mm ammo.

Key Features
- Single-Action Trigger: A crisp, predictable break that rewards deliberate aim — perfect for slow-fire accuracy at the range.
- 4.75-Inch Barrel: Balances sight radius and handling, making it easy to point naturally while keeping the revolver compact enough for a chest holster or range bag.
- Color Casehardened Frame: That mottled finish isn’t just eye candy; it’s a traditional process that adds surface hardness and resists wear.
- Two-Piece Black Checkered Navy Grip: Provides a secure hold even with sweaty hands, and the classic profile fills the palm without shifting under recoil.
- 9mm Chambering: Uses ubiquitous, inexpensive 9mm ammo — cheaper to shoot than .38 Special or .357 Magnum, so you can run more rounds per range trip.
Who It’s For
This revolver lands squarely in the hands of the EDC enthusiast who appreciates mechanical simplicity and wants a range toy with historical DNA. It’s for the pocket-dump crowd that rotates carry pieces but always comes back to a single-action for slow-fire focus. Collectors building a cowboy-themed safe will also grab this because it shoots modern ammo without the hassle of black-powder cleanup.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Authentic 1873 profile with modern 9mm — no need to hunt for .45 Colt or .38 Special.
- Pro: Six-round capacity in a slim cylinder that conceals easier under a jacket than a double-action snubby.
- Pro: Color casehardening adds durability and a unique look that stands out in a sea of stainless revolvers.
- Con: Single-action only — no double-action capability means you must manually cock the hammer for each shot, which slows follow-ups in defensive scenarios.

FAQ
Is the Taylor & Co TC9 1873 safe to shoot with modern 9mm +P ammunition?
Per Taylor & Co specs, the TC9 1873 is designed for standard-pressure 9mm Luger loads only. Do not use +P or +P+ ammunition, as the increased pressure can damage the cylinder or frame over time. Stick to 115- or 124-grain FMJ for range use.
Can I install aftermarket grips on this revolver?
Yes, the TC9 1873 uses a standard two-piece grip frame compatible with most 1873-style aftermarket grips from manufacturers like Altamont or VZ Grips. Just ensure they fit the Navy-style profile.
Does this revolver require a transfer or background check for purchase?
Yes, all firearm purchases require shipment to a Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer in your state. You’ll complete a background check at pickup. We ship to all 50 states where legal.
What is the barrel twist rate on the TC9 1873?
The barrel twist rate is 1:10 inches, optimized for 9mm bullets in the 115-124 grain range. This gives good stability for target loads and maintains accuracy out to 25 yards.
