The Taylors & Company C. Mason 1851 Navy revolver in .38 Special is a single-action sixgun built on a classic mid-19th-century design that's earned respect among cowboy action shooters, historical reenactors, and shooters who appreciate traditional wheelgun handling. This 7.5-inch octagonal-barrel model delivers the authentic look and ergonomics of period revolvers while chambered in the practical, readily available .38 Special cartridge—a smart move for shooters who want heritage aesthetics without hunting for obscure ammunition.
Built for deliberate, accurate shooting, the C. Mason features a traditional blade front sight and hammer-mounted rear sight, giving you simple, reliable point-of-aim geometry that works at practical distances. The single-action trigger requires you to manually cock the hammer for each shot, a rhythm that encourages precision and deliberate shooting discipline. Walnut grips provide a warm, durable hold that breaks in with use, and the blued finish gives the gun a classic, workmanlike appearance that suits both the range and the trail.
At 2.51 pounds and just over 13 inches overall, this revolver handles like a proper sixgun—substantial enough to feel stable when aimed, light enough for extended shooting sessions. Whether you're competing in Cowboy Action Shooting matches, practicing period-correct marksmanship, or simply enjoying a gun that respects its heritage, the C. Mason bridges history and modern shootability in a format that's proven for more than 170 years.
