The Taylors & Company 1873 Cattleman delivers authentic single-action performance with modern manufacturing precision in .357 Magnum chambering. This faithful reproduction of the iconic Colt Single Action Army combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary quality control standards.
What Makes This Different
Unlike mass-produced imports, this revolver features hand-fitted action components and case-hardened frame construction that mirrors original 19th-century manufacturing techniques. The antique finish process creates an aged patina that develops character over time while providing corrosion resistance. Each cylinder chamber is individually reamed and polished to ensure consistent chambering across all six rounds.
