- Single-Action Trigger with Classic Hammer – Why it matters: Each shot requires a deliberate hammer cock, giving you a crisp, consistent trigger pull that rewards precision and reduces flinching.
- Six-Shot Cylinder in .357 Magnum – Why it matters: You can load six rounds of .357 Magnum for hunting or .38 Special for cheap plinking, making it a versatile shooter for any budget.
- Fixed Sights with Blade Front – Why it matters: No adjustments to lose zero. The fixed sights are rugged, snag-free, and perfectly regulated for common factory ammo at typical distances.
- Blued Steel Frame and Barrel – Why it matters: The deep blued finish resists rust and wear while giving the revolver that classic Western look that stands out at the range or in the safe.
- Walnut One-Piece Grip – Why it matters: The grip fills your hand naturally, taming recoil from Magnum loads and providing a secure hold even with sweaty or gloved hands.
Who it’s for: This revolver is built for the collector who wants an authentic single-action experience without paying a premium for an Italian import. It’s also ideal for the cowboy action shooter or the hunter who needs a reliable sidearm for backup in the field. If you appreciate the manual ritual of cocking and firing, and you want a revolver that can handle both .357 Mag and .38 Special, the Gunfighter is your ticket.
Pros and Cons:
Pros: Authentic single-action feel, dual-caliber versatility (shoots .38 Special too), affordable price point for a steel-frame six-gun, classic blued finish, and walnut grips.
Cons: Fixed sights limit elevation adjustments for different loads; the single-action mechanism requires manual hammer cocking for each shot, which slows down follow-up shots compared to double-action revolvers.

Why choose the Taylors Gunfighter over the Ruger Vaquero? The Gunfighter delivers that authentic Italian-made single-action feel at a price that undercuts the Vaquero by over $150. While the Vaquero offers a transfer-bar safety and adjustable springs, the Gunfighter stays true to the original Colt design with a four-click hammer and a traditional grip frame. For collectors and cowboy shooters who value authenticity over modern safety features, the Gunfighter is the smarter buy.
FAQ
Is the Taylors and Company Gunfighter compatible with .38 Special ammunition?
Yes. The Gunfighter is chambered in .357 Magnum, which means it can safely fire .38 Special and .38 Special +P ammunition. This gives you the flexibility to shoot cheaper .38 Special rounds for practice or plinking, then load .357 Magnum for hunting or defense. Always check the barrel and cylinder markings before loading.
Does this revolver have a transfer-bar safety like modern Ruger revolvers?
No. The Taylors Gunfighter uses a traditional single-action safety design. The hammer rests on an empty chamber or on a safety notch. There is no transfer bar. This is standard for authentic single-action revolvers and requires the user to follow safe handling practices: load only five rounds with the hammer down on an empty chamber.
What is the barrel length on this model?
The barrel is exactly 4.75 inches from the front of the cylinder to the muzzle. This length provides a good balance between accuracy and portability, making it suitable for both range use and field carry. It’s the classic barrel length used on the original Colt Single Action Army.
Can I mount a scope or red dot on this revolver?
No. The Gunfighter has fixed sights with a blade front and a fixed rear notch cut into the top strap. There are no mounting holes or rails for optics. This revolver is designed for traditional iron sight shooting only. If you need optics, look at modern double-action revolvers with rail systems.
