Description

The Taylor's & Company Short Stroke Smoke Wagon delivers competition-ready performance in a classic single-action revolver platform. This Taylor Tuned model reduces trigger pull distance by 20% compared to standard single-action revolvers, enabling faster follow-up shots in competitive shooting scenarios.

What Makes This Different

The short stroke action modification sets this revolver apart from traditional Colt-style single actions. Taylor's factory tuning process includes hand-fitting internal components and polishing critical surfaces to achieve consistent 3.5-4 pound trigger pulls. The color case hardened frame provides superior wear resistance compared to standard blued frames, while maintaining the authentic 1873 aesthetic that competitors demand.
