Key Features
- Three-Quarter-Scale Frame — Why it matters: Reduces weight and grip circumference, making it ideal for smaller hands or concealed carry without sacrificing the classic single-action feel.
- 4.75-Inch Barrel — Why it matters: Balances pointability and velocity; delivers accurate .38 Special performance with a traditional cowboy profile.
- Color Case-Hardened Frame — Why it matters: Adds period-correct aesthetics and surface hardness that resists wear, exactly like the originals from the 1870s.
- Birdshead Grip with Walnut Stocks — Why it matters: Provides a natural, low-hanging hold that reduces muzzle flip and fits comfortably in the hand during extended range sessions.
- Six-Shot Cylinder in .38 Special — Why it matters: Offers a common, affordable caliber with mild recoil, perfect for plinking, target shooting, and introducing new shooters to single-action revolvers.
Who It’s For
This revolver is built for collectors who appreciate authentic 1873 lines but want a lighter, more manageable package. It is also a smart choice for cowboy action shooters looking for a backup gun, women shooters seeking a smaller-frame single-action, and anyone who values Italian craftsmanship from the Uberti factory. If you already own a full-size Colt SAA or Uberti Cattleman, the Stallion makes a perfect companion piece for the range or the gun show display table.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Light enough to carry all day; authentic case-hardened finish; smooth action out of the box; affordable entry point into single-action collecting; .38 Special is easy on the wallet and the wrist.
Cons: The three-quarter-scale grip may feel cramped for users with larger hands; the rear sight is a simple notch in the frame, which some shooters find less precise than adjustable sights. If you need a full-size frame for heavy .357 Magnum loads, look at the Uberti Cattleman instead.

| Best For | Collectors wanting scaled-down 1873 | Budget plinking / training | Full-power .357 loads / cowboy action main match |
The Ruger Wrangler is cheaper but uses .22 LR and an aluminum frame — fine for plinking, but lacks the steel heft and .38 Special punch of the Stallion. The Uberti Cattleman offers .357 Magnum versatility and a full-size grip, but it is heavier and pricier. The Stallion hits the sweet spot for shooters who want authentic looks in a lighter, more affordable single-action.
FAQ
Is the Taylors and Company Uberti Stallion .38 Special 4.75-inch a true scaled-down 1873?
Yes. According to Uberti specs, the Stallion is a three-quarter-scale replica of the classic 1873 Single Action Army. The frame, grip, and barrel are proportionally reduced while retaining the original lockwork and handling characteristics.
Can I shoot .357 Magnum through this revolver?
No. The Stallion is chambered only for .38 Special. Do not attempt to fire .357 Magnum — the cylinder is not long enough, and the frame is not rated for the higher pressure.
What kind of accuracy can I expect from the 4.75-inch barrel?
With quality .38 Special ammunition, expect 2–3 inch groups at 25 yards from a rest. The fixed sights are adequate for defensive and cowboy action shooting distances.
Does the Birdshead grip reduce recoil compared to a standard plowshare grip?
Yes, the Birdshead grip lowers the bore axis relative to the hand, which helps mitigate muzzle rise. It also fits smaller hands more naturally than the full-size plowshare style.
Are holsters for the full-size 1873 compatible with the Stallion?
Generally not. Because the Stallion is three-quarter scale, it requires a holster specifically fitted for its dimensions. Many leather makers offer Stallion-specific rigs.
