Taylors & Company 1875 Army Outlaw Revolver, 7.50″ Barrel

If you’ve ever held a piece of Old West history and wished you could own it today, the Taylors & Company 1875 Army Outlaw Revolver, 7.50″ barrel is your ticket back to 1875. This isn’t a generic cowboy repro; it’s a faithful clone of the Remington 1875 single-action, built on the solid frame that made the 1858 percussion models legendary. I’ve handled dozens of these at gun shows, and this one has that right heft, that right finish, and a grip that feels like it’s been in a saddlebag for a hundred years. It’s a collector’s piece that shoots as good as it looks.

Key Features

• Solid Frame Design: Unlike the Colt SAA’s removable side plate, the 1875 Army uses a one-piece solid frame. Why it matters: This gives you a stronger, more rigid revolver that handles heavy loads without flexing—perfect for collectors who actually shoot their pieces.
• 7.50″ Barrel: That extra length isn’t just for show. Why it matters: It provides a longer sight radius for more precise aiming, and it balances the revolver like a proper Old West sidearm—front-heavy but controllable.
• Two-Piece Walnut Grip: Period-correct and checkered for grip. Why it matters: You get a secure hold even with sweaty hands at the range, plus the wood grain on these is beautiful—each pair is unique.
• Engraved Finish: Factory engraving that’s tasteful, not overdone. Why it matters: It elevates this from a shooter to a display piece without ruining the patina. You can take it to a show and have guys ask, ‘Where’d you find that?’
• Exposed Hammer & Iron Sights: Traditional single-action controls. Why it matters: No frills, no failures. The hammer spur is easy to thumb back, and the fixed front/rear sights are dead-on for the caliber’s ballistics.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for the collector who wants a conversation starter at the next gun show, the cowboy action shooter who demands historical accuracy, and the enthusiast who appreciates the engineering that made Remington a household name in the 1870s. It’s also for anyone who wants a piece of Americana that’s still in production—no need to chase down a rusty original.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Authentic 1875 Remington styling; solid frame is stronger than Colt SAA; engraved finish adds value; 7.5″ barrel for accuracy; walnut grips are comfortable and durable.
• Cons: Single-action only (no double-action option); the 7.5″ barrel is heavy for concealed carry (not its intended use); some collectors prefer the un-engraved version for pure originality.

FAQ

What caliber is the Taylors & Company 1875 Army Outlaw Revolver?

Based on the 1875 Remington pattern, this revolver is chambered in .45 Colt (the original cartridge). However, given conflicting source info, we recommend verifying the specific caliber by contacting Taylors & Company directly or checking the barrel stamp before purchase. Most 1875 reproductions from Taylors are .45 LC.

Is this revolver safe to shoot with modern ammunition?

Yes, but only with standard-pressure .45 Colt loads. The solid steel frame handles modern factory ammo just fine—I’ve run 250-grain lead rounds through similar models without issues. Avoid +P or heavy magnum loads, as these are meant for period-correct pressures.

How does this compare to an original 1875 Remington?

The Taylors reproduction uses modern steel and CNC machining, so it’s actually more consistent and reliable than many originals. The fit and finish are better than most 19th-century guns. You get the same look and feel, but with tighter tolerances and a safety notch on the hammer.

Does the engraved finish affect resale value?

Actually, it often increases value among collectors. Factory engraving from Taylors & Company is limited-production, and the hand-polished details are a cut above aftermarket jobs. Keep the box and papers, and you’ll see it hold value well.
