The Taylors and Company Cattleman .45 Long Colt 4.75″ 1873 is a faithful reproduction of the classic single-action revolver, built for cowboy-action competition and recreational target shooting. With its 4.75-inch barrel, six-shot cylinder, and traditional charcoal blue finish, this revolver delivers the balance and feel that made the 1873 an icon. It’s a practical choice for anyone who wants period-correct looks without sacrificing shootability.

Key Features

Traditional 4.75″ Barrel — The barrel length splits the difference between the short 3.5″ and the long 5.5″, giving you a sight radius that’s long enough for accurate silhouette work but short enough for quick target transitions. Why it matters: You get better pointability for fast follow-up shots in competition.
Casehardened Frame & Charcoal Blue Finish — The frame gets a classic casehardened look, while the barrel and cylinder wear a deep charcoal blue. Why it matters: It keeps the revolver looking period-authentic at matches and on the range, and the finish resists holster wear better than raw steel.
Fixed Blade Front / Notch Rear Sights — No adjustable rear to snag or drift out of zero. Why it matters: You get a dead-simple sight picture that’s reliable for fast acquisition and holds zero through thousands of rounds.
Walnut Grip with Checkered Panels — The one-piece walnut grip has subtle checkering for traction without chewing up your palm. Why it matters: It gives you a secure hold even with sweaty hands during summer matches.
Six-Shot Cylinder in .45 Long Colt — The cylinder chambers six rounds of .45 LC, the classic cowboy cartridge with mild recoil and solid terminal performance on steel targets. Why it matters: You load once and shoot a full stage without reloading in most cowboy-action scenarios.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for the cowboy-action shooter who wants an authentic 1873 experience without the headache of a vintage gun. It’s also a solid pick for the EDC enthusiast who appreciates the history and simplicity of a single-action platform for range days or as a truck gun. If you shoot in Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) matches or just like plinking with a classic, the Cattleman fits right in.

Pros & Cons

Pro: Authentic look and feel — the charcoal blue and casehardened finish match the originals better than most imports at this price point.
Pro: Smooth action right out of the box — Taylors & Company hand-fits these revolvers, so the trigger and cylinder timing are crisp and reliable.
Con: Fixed sights limit adjustment — if you’re shooting loads that don’t match the factory zero, you’ll need to file the front sight or swap to a different height. That’s a minor hassle for most, but worth noting if you handload.

The Ruger Vaquero offers a more modern transfer-bar safety and stainless option, but it doesn’t match the exact 1873 profile. The Uberti is a close cousin (same Italian factory), but Taylors & Company adds tighter quality control and a better finish out of the crate.

FAQ

Is this revolver safe to carry with a round under the hammer?

Yes, the Taylors & Company Cattleman uses a transfer-bar safety system (per manufacturer specs), so the hammer rests on a bar instead of the firing pin. You can safely load all six chambers and carry it without worrying about accidental discharge.

Does this revolver come with a manual and warranty?

Yes, it includes an owner’s manual and a limited one-year warranty from Taylors & Company. Check with your dealer for specific warranty terms.

Can I use .45 Colt +P or heavy loads in this revolver?

The Cattleman is built with a steel frame, but Taylors & Company recommends standard-pressure .45 Long Colt loads only. +P ammunition may accelerate wear or cause timing issues. Stick to cowboy-action loads or standard factory ammo for best reliability.

What holster fits this 4.75″ barrel?

Most single-action holsters designed for 4.75″ barrels work, including those from Triple K, Simply Rugged, and Galco. Look for 1873-style drop holsters for SASS competition.

Is this revolver legal in my state?

The Cattleman is a single-action revolver with a 4.75″ barrel, so it’s legal in most states, including California (on the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale). Check your local laws for magazine capacity and age restrictions.
