Pros & Cons
- Pro: Factory short-stroke tuning saves you $150+ in gunsmith fees and gives a crisp 3.5-lb trigger pull.
- Pro: Authentic case-hardened finish and checkered walnut grip look great on the belt or in the safe.
- Con: Single-action only means you must manually cock the hammer for each shot—not ideal for high-speed defensive drills.
- Pro: Widened sight channel and enhanced front blade improve accuracy over standard fixed sights.
- Con: The 4.75-inch barrel may feel short for long-range plinking but balances well for carry.

FAQ
Does this revolver come with a transfer bar safety?
No, the Taylors & Company Short Stroke Smoke Wagon uses a traditional single-action safety system with a half-cock notch. Always carry with the hammer down on an empty chamber for safety.
Can I use .45 Colt +P ammunition in this revolver?
Per Taylors & Company specs, the Smoke Wagon is rated for standard-pressure .45 Colt loads only. Do not use +P or magnum loads, as the case-hardened frame isn’t designed for them.
