The Taylors & Company 1873 Ranch Hand Deluxe transforms the classic single-action revolver platform into a precision-tuned firearm that delivers consistent performance shot after shot. This Taylor Tuned model features enhanced action work that reduces trigger pull weight while maintaining the crisp break shooters demand for accurate fire.
What Makes This Different
The Taylor Tuned action work sets this Ranch Hand apart from standard production revolvers through hand-fitted components and refined timing. Each cylinder locks up tight with minimal play, while the trigger breaks cleanly at approximately 3.5-4 pounds. The color case hardened frame provides both visual appeal and enhanced surface durability compared to standard blued finishes.
