Taylors & Company 1873 Gunfighter .45 Colt (LC) — Product Overview

Model/Part: 550858 | UPC: 839665009970 | Configuration: 5.50" blued barrel, 6-shot blued cylinder, color case hardened steel frame, walnut Army-size grip

The Taylors & Company 1873 Gunfighter chambered in .45 Colt (LC) is a traditional-style single-action revolver that reflects classic late-19th-century revolver design elements while being produced with modern materials and manufacturing processes. This configuration includes a 5.50-inch blued finish barrel, a 6-round blued cylinder, a color case hardened finish steel frame, and a walnut Army-size grip—a combination typically associated with heritage aesthetics and established single-action handling characteristics.

Traditional “1873” Single-Action Styling and Operation

The “1873” designation commonly refers to the classic single-action revolver pattern historically associated with frontier-era handguns. Revolvers of this style are often recognized for:

  • A deliberate manual-of-arms consistent with single-action operation

  • A straightforward mechanical layout emphasizing consistent handling

  • Period-inspired ergonomics and visual details that appeal to collectors and enthusiasts

Users commonly consider this type of revolver for lawful recreational shooting, collection, and certain organized shooting disciplines that feature traditional designs.

Caliber: .45 Colt (LC)

Chambered in .45 Colt (LC), this revolver supports a cartridge with long-standing historical use and broad recognition among revolver shooters. Ammunition performance can vary widely depending on bullet weight, load intensity, and firearm barrel length. As with any firearm, users should verify ammunition suitability according to manufacturer guidance and ensure that all ammunition used is in proper specification for the firearm.

5.50" Blued Finish Barrel

The 5.50-inch barrel is a common “middle” length in classic single-action revolvers, often chosen for its balance between portability and practical control. A barrel length in this range may offer:

  • A longer sight radius than shorter barrel configurations

  • A balanced feel in-hand for steady presentation

  • A profile that aligns with many traditional revolver proportions

The blued finish provides a classic appearance. Like most blued steel surfaces, it benefits from routine maintenance—especially after exposure to moisture, sweat, or field conditions—to help reduce corrosion risk.

6-Round Blued Finish Cylinder

This model uses a 6-round capacity cylinder with a matching blued finish. The six-shot format is historically standard for single-action revolvers and is frequently valued for its traditional form factor and familiar handling rhythm. As with all revolvers, safe handling practices and correct loading procedures are essential.

Color Case Hardened Finish Steel Frame

The steel frame features a color case hardened finish, a visual style associated with classic revolvers. Color case hardened finishes often display natural variation in pattern and tone, and small differences from one unit to the next are typically expected. The steel-frame construction contributes to overall rigidity and durability.

Walnut Army-Size Grip

The revolver is fitted with a walnut Army-size grip, combining traditional material choice with a recognizable grip profile. Walnut grips can vary in grain and color due to the natural character of wood. Grip size and shape affect comfort, hand placement, and perceived recoil characteristics, so users often evaluate the grip profile through hands-on handling and live-fire testing.

Typical Lawful Use Contexts

Configurations like the Taylors & Company 1873 Gunfighter are commonly considered for:

  • Recreational range use and practice

  • Collecting heritage-style revolvers

  • Training with traditional single-action platforms

  • Participation in organized shooting sports that feature classic revolver designs

Care, Handling, and Safety Notes

Firearms should always be handled responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws. Recommended best practices include:

  • Following the manufacturer’s manual for operation and maintenance

  • Confirming the revolver is unloaded prior to cleaning or inspection

  • Using only appropriate, in-spec ammunition

  • Cleaning and lightly protecting blued surfaces to reduce corrosion

  • Storing securely and separately from ammunition where required
