Key Features
- 9mm Luger Chambering – Why it matters: You get the look and feel of a cowboy gun without the premium cost of .45 Colt. 9mm is cheaper, easier to find, and produces lighter recoil for longer range sessions.
- 4.75-Inch Round Barrel – Why it matters: Balances sight radius for accuracy with a compact profile that clears holsters and gun cases. The round contour keeps the classic lines intact.
- Checkered Walnut Army-Style Grip – Why it matters: Provides a secure, non-slip purchase even with sweaty hands. The shape fills your palm naturally, giving you control during rapid strings of fire.
- Exposed Hammer & Manual Cylinder-Pin Safety – Why it matters: You can safely carry six rounds with the hammer down on an empty chamber, or use the cylinder-pin safety as an extra layer when storing or transporting the revolver.
- Six-Shot Cylinder – Why it matters: Matches the capacity of traditional single-action revolvers while accepting modern moon clips for faster reloads. No need to load one, skip one, load five—just load six and shoot.
Who It’s For
This revolver is built for the everyday carrier who appreciates mechanical simplicity and wants a range toy that doubles as a conversation piece. It’s also a solid pick for historical shooters, cowboy action enthusiasts on a budget, and collectors who want a 9mm variant of the 1873 pattern. If you’re the type who carries a revolver as a backup or just likes running lead downrange with style, this fits your pocket dump.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Affordable 9mm ammo keeps per-round costs low compared to .45 Colt or .357 Magnum.
- Pro: Classic single-action trigger with a crisp break—no lawyer-weight pull here.
- Con: The cylinder-pin safety can be fiddly under stress; it’s best used as a storage safety, not a carry safety. You’ll want to practice the manual of arms before relying on it for defense.

FAQ
Can this revolver shoot +P 9mm ammunition?
Per Taylor & Company specs, the 1873 TC9 is rated for standard-pressure 9mm Luger only. +P loads may accelerate wear on the cylinder and frame. Stick to 115- or 124-grain range ammo for reliability and longevity.
Does it come with moon clips for 9mm?
No, moon clips are not included with the revolver. You can buy aftermarket moon clips designed for 9mm single-action revolvers—they help with extraction since 9mm is a rimless cartridge. The cylinder is cut to accept them.
Is the 4.75-inch barrel accurate for target shooting?
Yes, the 4.75-inch barrel provides a good sight radius for iron-sight shooting. At 25 yards, you can expect groups within 4-6 inches with quality ammunition. The fixed sights are regulated for 9mm, so holdover at longer ranges is minimal.
Can I use this revolver for cowboy action shooting?
You can, but check your local club rules. Some cowboy action matches require period-correct calibers like .45 Colt or .38 Special. If your club allows 9mm, the TC9 is a great entry-level option because ammo is cheaper and recoil is lighter.
