The Taylors & Co 1873 Cattleman Standard Finish revolver in .357 Mag brings authentic Old West character to modern shooting. This single-action revolver channels the design of the legendary Colt Peacemaker, making it a favorite for cowboy action shooting, historical reenactment, and anyone who appreciates classic American firearms. The 4-3/4 inch barrel strikes a balance between handling ease and sight radius, while the .357 Magnum chambering delivers serious performance for both full-power loads and milder .38 Special rounds in the same firearm.
Built with a blue barrel and case-hardened steel frame, the Cattleman wears its finish with authentic period character—these aren't high-gloss modern coatings, but genuine old-school color case hardening and blued steel that develop rich patina with use. The walnut grips provide traditional comfort and a reassuring feel in the hand. At 2.27 pounds and 10.25 inches overall, it's light enough for extended shooting sessions but substantial enough to manage recoil confidently. The simple blade front sight keeps things uncomplicated, true to the original design philosophy.
Six-round capacity gives you the full complement of firepower you'd expect from a classic single-action. Whether you're competing in SASS events, collecting historically accurate replicas, or just want a revolver that looks and feels like it stepped out of 1873, the Cattleman delivers genuine charm without sacrificing modern reliability. This is the real deal for shooters who value authenticity alongside function.

Case hardening is a traditional heat-treatment process that creates a mottled, colorful patina on steel—it's authentic to the original 1873 design and develops character with use. The blue barrel completes the period-correct appearance. This isn't a modern epoxy finish, but classic metallurgy that evolves with handling.
