Key Features

Period-Correct Army Grip — The walnut grip with steel backstrap gives you that authentic 1873 feel, plus a solid purchase for one-handed shooting. Why it matters: You get historical accuracy without sacrificing ergonomics for daily handling.
Case-Hardened Frame with Blued Steel — The frame gets a traditional color case-hardening, while the barrel and cylinder are blued for durability. Why it matters: That contrast looks sharp on the belt and resists holster wear better than all-blue finishes.
Six-Round Cylinder with Fixed Sights — Fixed blade front and notch rear, no adjustments needed. Why it matters: Keeps the profile clean for carry and forces you to learn your hold—perfect for cowboy action or just plinking.
5.5″ Barrel for Balance — Splits the difference between 4.75″ and 7.5″ options, giving you a manageable swing and decent sight radius. Why it matters: Carries easier than a long barrel but still hits steel at 25 yards without fuss.
Single-Action Trigger — Requires manual hammer cocking before each shot. Why it matters: Slows you down, makes every round count, and keeps the classic operation alive for modern shooters.

Who It’s For

This revolver fits three types of owners: cowboy action shooters who want a reliable gun for competition strings, collectors building a working 1873 set, and EDC enthusiasts who rotate in a single-action for range days or historical reenactments. If you already run a modern semi-auto but want a taste of the frontier, this is your entry point.

Pros & Cons

Pro: Authentic styling with steel construction—no zinc or pot metal.
Pro: .45 Colt gives you soft recoil with standard loads and good thump for defense.
Con: Single-action only—no double-action capability, so it’s slower on follow-ups than a modern wheelgun.
Con: Fixed sights mean you’re stuck with factory zero; windage adjustments aren’t possible without a gunsmith.
Pro: Price point under $650 beats most Italian imports with similar features.

The Zev OZ9 and Agency G19 are modern polymer guns built for speed and capacity. The Taylors 1873 is a different beast—slower, heavier, but with a soul that those race guns can’t touch. If you want a revolver that feels like it rode with a lawman, this is your pick. If you need 15 rounds for a fight, go modern.

FAQ

Is this revolver safe for modern .45 Colt loads?

Yes, but stick to standard-pressure .45 Colt loads. Per Taylors & Company specs, this 1873 is built for traditional ammunition—not +P or hot-rodded rounds. Use factory cowboy loads or handloads within SAAMI spec to keep the frame happy.

Can I mount optics or a red dot on this?

No, the fixed sights are integral to the barrel and frame. This is a period-correct design with no rail or optic cuts. If you need a dot, look at a modern revolver like a Ruger GP100 with a rail mount.

What’s the best holster for this revolver?

Any cross-draw or strong-side holster built for a 5.5″ Colt SAA clone works. Leather options from Simply Rugged or DeSantis fit well. Avoid kydex unless it’s custom-molded to the 1873 profile.

Does this revolver have a transfer bar safety?

No, it uses the traditional half-cock notch and hammer block. Carry with the hammer down on an empty chamber for safety—standard practice for single-actions.

What’s the warranty from Taylors & Company?

Taylors & Company offers a one-year warranty on manufacturing defects. Register your revolver online after purchase to activate coverage.
