Key Features
- Taylor Tuned Action – Hand-polished internals and custom springs give you a smooth, predictable trigger break. Why it matters: In a defensive scenario, a clean trigger pull means faster, more accurate follow-up shots without fighting a gritty stack.
- 3.5″ Barrel with Fixed Sights – Blade front and notched rear provide instant sight acquisition at typical self-defense distances. Why it matters: No batteries, no adjustments—just point and shoot when every split-second counts.
- Checkered One-Piece Walnut Grip – Classic wood with a textured surface that locks into your hand. Why it matters: Sweaty palms or adrenaline shakes won’t cost you control; the grip stays planted in your palm.
- Polished Black Nitride Finish – Corrosion-resistant coating that holds up to holster wear and humidity. Why it matters: Apartment dwellers and urban carriers need a gun that won’t rust from daily carry or a sweaty summer commute.
Who It’s For
This revolver is built for the urban CCW holder who appreciates the simplicity of a single-action six-shooter. It’s ideal for apartment dwellers who want a reliable home-defense piece that doesn’t require a manual safety or complex disassembly. If you carry a backup revolver or just want a range toy that doubles as a nightstand gun, the Runnin Iron fits the bill.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Taylor Tuned action out of the box, durable nitride finish, compact 3.5″ barrel for easy concealment, classic .45 Long Colt stopping power, walnut grip feels substantial without being bulky.
Cons: Single-action only—requires manual cocking for each shot, which can slow down follow-ups compared to a double-action revolver or semi-auto. Fixed sights are not adjustable for windage or elevation, so you’ll need to practice your point-of-aim.

FAQ
What is the barrel length of the Taylors and Company Runnin Iron .45 Long Colt?
The barrel is 3.5 inches, measured from the forcing cone to the muzzle. This gives you a compact profile that’s easier to carry while still delivering full .45 LC ballistics.
Is this revolver safe for concealed carry?
Yes, but with caveats. Single-action revolvers require you to carry with the hammer down on an empty chamber for safety (the “five-shooter” method). The 3.5″ barrel and walnut grip make it concealable under a jacket or in a shoulder holster, but it’s not as pocket-friendly as a snub-nose.
Does the Runnin Iron come with a warranty?
Taylors and Company offers a limited lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects. Per the manufacturer, the warranty covers the original owner and is non-transferable. Register your revolver online after purchase.
Can I use .45 Schofield or .45 ACP in this revolver?
No. This revolver is chambered exclusively for .45 Long Colt. Using other cartridges can cause pressure issues or fit problems. Stick to .45 LC for safety and reliability.
