The Taylor & Co Stallion Handgun .38 Spl 6rd Capacity 5.5″ Barrel Walnut is a compact single-action revolver that shrinks the classic 1873 design to a 3/4 scale, making it ideal for apartment dwellers and CCW holders who want a lightweight, easy-to-manage backup piece. With a forged steel frame, case-hardened finish, and Navy-size walnut grips, this six-shooter delivers old-school reliability in a modern carry package. It’s a faithful reproduction of the smaller-scale 1873s originally made for shooters who appreciate a reduced-size revolver without sacrificing the iconic Colt SAA feel.

Key Features
- 3/4 Scale 1873 Reproduction — why it matters: You get the classic single-action profile in a lighter, more compact frame that fits smaller hands and conceals easier under a jacket or in a nightstand drawer.
- Forged Steel Frame with Spring-Retained Cylinder Pin — why it matters: This modern upgrade from the original design prevents the cylinder pin from walking loose under recoil, keeping your wheelgun reliable shot after shot in a defensive scenario.
- Navy Size Walnut Grip — why it matters: The slightly smaller grip reduces bulk while still giving you a full four-finger hold, improving control and follow-up accuracy for urban shooters.
- Case-Hardened Frame and Blued Steel Parts — why it matters: The two-tone finish resists holster wear and corrosion, so your revolver looks sharp and stays functional even in humid apartment environments.
- 6-Round Capacity in .38 Special — why it matters: Six shots of .38 Spl give you enough firepower for home defense or backup carry without the weight penalty of a full-size .357.
Who It’s For
This revolver is built for urban CCW holders who want a compact, old-school wheelgun they can stash in a glovebox, range bag, or nightstand. It’s also a great trainer for new shooters or anyone with smaller hands who struggles with full-size single actions. If you live in a tight apartment and need a .38 that’s easy to shoot and maintain, the Stallion fits the bill.
