Taylors & Company 5001DE 1873 Gunfighter Deluxe 45 Colt (LC) 6rd 5.50" Blued Cylinder & Barrel Color Case Hardened Steel Frame Walnut Army Size Grip (Taylor Tuned)

The Taylors & Company 5001DE 1873 Gunfighter Deluxe 45 Colt (LC) 6rd 5.50" Blued Cylinder & Barrel Color Case Hardened Steel Frame Walnut Army Size Grip (Taylor Tuned) is a precision-engineered single-action revolver built for the rigors of competitive shooting and historical recreation. This firearm serves users who demand the reliability of a forged steel frame combined with the smooth mechanical interface of a professionally tuned action. While modern duty weapons have evolved, the 1873 platform remains a staple for those specializing in Cowboy Action Shooting where speed and accuracy are non-negotiable. It provides a historical aesthetic without sacrificing the structural integrity required for high-volume fire.

This model utilizes a forged steel frame, which offers significantly greater durability and stress resistance than cast alternatives during prolonged use. The 5.50-inch barrel and blued cylinder are matched to provide a balanced center of gravity, facilitating a natural point of aim and consistent shot placement. The Taylor Tuned designation indicates that the internal components have been hand-polished and the springs adjusted to provide a crisp trigger break and a light hammer pull. Additionally, the walnut Army-size grip offers an expanded surface area that improves recoil control and provides a more ergonomic interface for shooters with larger hands.

Professional competitors and serious collectors will benefit most from the factory-tuned performance of this .45 Colt chambered revolver. By integrating custom-shop features like the polished action and forged frame directly into the production model, Taylors & Company provides a turnkey solution for match-grade performance. This revolver is compatible with standard .45 Long Colt cartridges and fits most leather holsters designed for the 1873 pattern. Its combination of a color case hardened finish and walnut furniture ensures it remains a resilient tool for both field use and competitive arenas.
