Taylors & Company 555138 1873 Cattleman Gunfighter 357 Mag Caliber with 5.50" Blued Finish Barrel, 6rd Capacity Blued Finish Cylinder, Color Case Hardened Finish Steel Frame & Walnut Army Size Grip

The Taylor's & Company 1873 Cattleman Gunfighter in 357 Magnum is a single-action revolver built on a forged steel frame engineered for competitive shooting and serious field use. The 5.50-inch blued barrel delivers reliable velocity and accuracy across the 357 Magnum cartridge spectrum, while the 6-round capacity provides practical shot count for sport, training, and defensive applications. The color case hardened steel frame and blued cylinder represent time-tested metallurgy that balances durability with aesthetic tradition in single-action revolver design.

The Gunfighter variant distinguishes itself through grip ergonomics—Taylor's installed the 1860 Army-style grip frame, offering increased surface area and leverage for shooters with larger hands. This larger grip reduces hand fatigue during extended shooting sessions and improves recoil management when cycling through ammunition. The forged frame construction improves grain structure and mechanical strength compared to cast alternatives, critical for withstanding the pressures of full-power 357 Magnum loads. Total weight of 3.3 pounds keeps the platform manageable for all-day carry or competition use without introducing undue weight.

This 1873 Cattleman configuration suits competitive shooters, sport shooters, and those training in classic revolver disciplines. The 357 Magnum chambering provides flexibility—shooters can load 357 Magnum rounds for full power or step down to 38 Special ammunition for reduced recoil and cost-effective practice. Single-action operation demands deliberate trigger management and manual hammer cocking, making this platform valuable for shooters developing fundamental handgun discipline. The walnut Army-size grip and color case hardened finish deliver both functional performance and traditional aesthetic appeal.
