Taylors and Company Uberti Stallion .38 Special 4.75-inch

Taylors and Company Uberti Stallion .38 Special 4.75-inch — a scaled-down 1873 single-action that handles like a pocket-sized legend. Weighing just 1.86 lbs with a compact 9.06-inch overall length, this three-quarter-scale revolver delivers authentic Old West style in a lighter, easier-to-carry package. Chambered in .38 Special with a six-shot cylinder, it is built for collectors who want genuine Italian craftsmanship without the full-size heft.

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.

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.
