The Taylors & Company 1873 Cattleman .45 LC revolver in nickel is a faithful recreation of the iconic single-action revolver that defined an era. With a 7.5-inch barrel and classic walnut grip, this .45 LC six-shooter delivers the authentic look and feel of a Wild West sidearm—whether you're a Cowboy Action Shooting competitor, a history enthusiast, or simply drawn to the timeless appeal of the 1873 platform. The nickel finish with charcoal-blue screws gives it a period-correct aesthetic that stands out on the range or at the holster.

Built on proven single-action mechanics, the 1873 Cattleman is straightforward to operate and maintain. The 7.5-inch barrel length strikes a practical balance between velocity and handling, and the .45 LC cartridge remains a popular choice for shooters who appreciate its manageable recoil and proven stopping power. Whether you're loading cowboy loads for action shooting or full-power rounds for hunting or defense, this revolver handles both with the reliability you'd expect from a design refined over nearly 150 years.

At 2.50 pounds and 13 inches overall, the Cattleman is comfortable to carry and quick to draw. The blade front sight is simple and effective, and the nickel finish requires regular maintenance to protect it from corrosion—a small price for the distinctive visual appeal it brings. This is a working revolver for shooters who value heritage, accuracy, and straightforward mechanical design.
