The Taylors & Company 1873 Runnin Iron .45 LC revolver is a single-action wheelgun built from the ground up for mounted shooting competition. Designed by third-generation gunsmith Deke Rivers and inspired by mounted shooting legend Denny Chapman, this 4.75" blued revolver brings practical sport engineering to the classic 1873 platform. The Runnin Iron strips away unnecessary weight and adds the refinements that matter when you're shooting from horseback: a low, wide hammer spur for fast cocking, a wide trigger for consistent breaks, and enhanced cylinder clearance front and rear to keep things running smooth under rapid fire. At just 2.27 pounds, it's engineered to be light and efficient without sacrificing balance or reliability.
The gun ships with checkered walnut grips in the gunfighter style and a widened sight channel with a widened front blade—both aimed at quick target acquisition. The case-hardened frame contrasts the blued steel barrel and cylinder, giving the Runnin Iron a purposeful, timeless look. Taylor's & Company equipped this revolver with their second-generation transverse cylinder pin latch for smooth, fast reloads, a crescent-style ejector rod, and a reduced-power spring kit tuned for the demands of mounted shooting with black powder blanks. The 6-round capacity keeps you competitive, and the overall length of 10.25 inches maintains that classic profile without excess.
Whether you're a mounted shooting enthusiast stepping into competition or a black powder revolver shooter looking for a platform purpose-built for the sport, the Runnin Iron delivers the action work and ergonomic thinking that separates a competition gun from a standard single-action. Taylor's & Company offers custom action tuning on request, so you can dial in exactly what your shooting style demands.
