The Taylors & Company 1873 Cattleman Gunfighter .45 Colt revolver is a modern production single-action built on classical 1873 specifications. This 6-round revolver features a 5.50-inch blued barrel paired with a color case-hardened steel frame—the same metallurgical combination that defined the original design. What distinguishes the Gunfighter variant is the 1860 Army-size grip frame, accommodating shooters who prefer a larger grip circumference and increased purchase surface for control and recoil management across extended training cycles.
Construction centers on a forged steel frame—a process that improves grain structure and yield strength compared to investment casting. The barrel length of 5.50 inches balances velocity development in .45 Colt loads with practical handling during tactical shooting disciplines and cowboy action competitions. The walnut grips provide ergonomic surface texture and wood-to-steel fit typical of Taylors & Company's production standards. Weighing 3.03 pounds, the revolver sits within the typical mass envelope for single-action revolvers in this caliber, affecting felt recoil and muzzle rise during rapid fire sequences.
This platform serves competitive shooters participating in Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) events, historical reenactors, and centerfire handgun enthusiasts. The .45 Colt cartridge offers flexibility in handloading, supporting both light target loads and full-power magnum loads depending on intended use. The 1873 platform remains the standard-bearer for single-action revolver sports shooting, and the Gunfighter's larger grip accommodates shooters who have found the Army grip superior for sustained accuracy under timed stages. Taylors & Company maintains domestic distribution and support for parts and service through established channels.
