The Taylors & Company Smoke Wagon delivers authentic single-action performance with modern manufacturing precision in the classic .45 Colt chambering. This faithful reproduction combines traditional aesthetics with reliable function for cowboy action shooting and collecting enthusiasts.
What Makes This Different
The Smoke Wagon features a color case hardened steel frame that provides superior durability compared to standard blued frames while maintaining the distinctive appearance of period-correct firearms. The 5.5-inch barrel length offers an optimal balance between accuracy and handling speed, making it faster to draw than longer-barreled alternatives while maintaining sufficient sight radius for precise shot placement. Quality checkered walnut grips provide secure handling and complement the revolver's traditional finish combination.
