The polished steel frame, barrel, and cylinder provide both durability and timeless appeal, ensuring your Cattleman remains beautiful and functional for generations.

This elegant plating reflects the artistry and class of the classic American revolver while delivering the endurance of modern materials.

Ivory Birdshead Grip — Classic Elegance, Modern Comfort

The birdshead-style synthetic grip, molded in a refined ivory tone, offers superior ergonomics in a compact revolver configuration. The rounded profile fits comfortably into the hand, providing excellent control during shooting. Historically favored by 19th-century gamblers and trailmen, this grip design adds both aesthetic beauty and improved handling.

Perfectly complementing the nickel finish, the ivory birdshead grip creates a luxurious two-tone look that turns this revolver into a showpiece — on the range or in your display case.

Compact 3.50" Barrel — Balanced and Versatile

The 3.50-inch barrel gives the 1873 Cattleman a balanced, easy-handling profile ideal for both display and practical use. Its shorter length makes it quicker to draw and point — characteristics prized in close-range defense and cowboy action shooting — while maintaining the accuracy expected from a precision-built single-action revolver.

Whether carried in a holster or admired as a collector’s piece, this barrel length provides the perfect blend of authenticity, agility, and visual appeal.

True Single Action Operation

Like its legendary 19th-century inspiration, the Taylor’s 1873 Cattleman operates on a Single Action Only (SAO) mechanism. Each shot requires manual cocking of the hammer, producing the iconic four-click sound that has echoed through generations of Western history. The crisp trigger pull and precise cylinder lock-up deliver a smooth and satisfying firing experience that modern shooters still treasure.

• Smooth cylinder rotation ensures consistent, reliable function.

• Balanced weight distribution enhances control and accuracy for offhand shooting.

• Traditional fixed sights provide quick target acquisition, true to the revolver’s original design.

• .45 Colt chambering offers powerful performance with classic cowboy-era recoil and ballistics.

The Taylor’s 1873 Cattleman .45 Colt blends authentic shooting feel with modern safety and machining, making it ideal for both the range and the collector’s cabinet.

• Western firearm collectors who value authentic reproductions with show-quality finishes.
