The Taylors & Company Short Stroke Gunfighter delivers competition-grade performance with its factory-tuned action and precision-machined components. This single-action revolver combines the classic 1873 Colt design with modern manufacturing standards for enhanced reliability and accuracy.
What Makes This Different
The Taylor Tuned action reduces trigger pull weight and shortens hammer travel by 20% compared to standard single-action revolvers. Factory blueprinting ensures consistent cylinder timing and lockup across all six chambers. The color case hardened frame provides both corrosion resistance and the authentic appearance collectors demand.
Key Features
- Taylor Tuned short stroke action for faster follow-up shots
- 5.5-inch blued barrel with precision-rifled bore
- Color case hardened steel frame with traditional heat treatment

Cowboy Action Shooting competitors rely on the Short Stroke Gunfighter's reduced hammer throw and smooth trigger break for stage times under pressure. The .357 Magnum chambering handles full-power loads while remaining controllable with .38 Special practice ammunition. Blued finish resists wear during extended shooting sessions and maintains its appearance with minimal maintenance.
