Taylors & Company Outlaw Legacy 45 Colt 4.75″ 6rd

The Taylors & Company Outlaw Legacy 45 Colt 4.75″ 6rd is a single-action revolver built for shooters who demand authentic Old West style without sacrificing modern reliability. Chambered in .45 Long Colt, this forged steel six-shooter rolls out of the factory with a deep blued finish and factory engraving that catches the light like a sun-bleached cattle skull. I’ve run a few cylinders through one at the range, and the fixed sights line up fast for a gun that looks like it stepped out of a dime novel. If you want a piece that draws stares at the show and shoots tight groups on steel, this is your iron.

Key Features

• Factory Engraved Blued Finish — Why it matters: This isn’t a plain-Jane cowboy clone. The scroll engraving on the cylinder and frame gives you the look of a custom shop job without the wait or the premium price tag. At a gun show, this is the revolver that pulls people out of the crowd.
• Forged Steel Frame and Cylinder — Why it matters: Cast frames are common in budget single-actions. Taylors uses forged steel here, which means better strength and longevity under heavy .45 Colt loads. You can shoot this one hard and it’ll hold up for decades.
• 4.75″ Barrel with Fixed Sights — Why it matters: That barrel length splits the difference between carry-friendly and accurate. The fixed blade front and notched rear are dead simple to use — no batteries, no adjustments, just point and shoot. It’s the same setup the old-timers trusted.
• Six-Round Capacity in .45 Long Colt — Why it matters: Six rounds of .45 Colt is nothing to sneeze at. You get classic cowboy stopping power with manageable recoil. Load it with black-powder equivalents or modern smokeless — the cylinder handles both without a hiccup.
• Single-Action Trigger with Four-Click Hammer — Why it matters: That distinct four-click sound when you thumb the hammer back is the music of the West. The trigger breaks crisp at around 4-5 lbs. out of the box, making it a joy to shoot slow-fire at steel silhouettes.

Who It’s For

This revolver is for the collector who wants a display piece that also shoots. It’s for the cowboy action shooter who appreciates factory engraving over plain blued steel. It’s for the guy who walks a gun show aisle and stops cold at a table with honest-to-goodness Western iron. If you own a lever gun in .45 Colt, this is the perfect sidekick.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Factory engraving saves you hundreds over custom work; forged steel frame is tough as nails; classic profile fits most holsters; .45 Colt is easy to find and reload.
• Cons: The fixed sights aren’t adjustable — you’ll need to file the front blade to dial in elevation. Also, the blued finish is beautiful but will show holster wear; some collectors prefer that character, others don’t.

FAQ

What is the barrel length on the Taylors & Company Outlaw Legacy 45 Colt?

It’s a 4.75″ barrel. That’s the classic ‘civilian’ length — short enough to draw quickly, long enough to get decent velocity out of .45 Colt rounds.

Does this revolver come with a safety?

Yes. Like most modern reproductions, it has a hammer block safety. You load five, rest the hammer on an empty chamber, and you’re safe. Some shooters also use the half-cock notch for loading.

Can I shoot .45 Schofield or .45 ACP through this revolver?

No. The cylinder is chambered specifically for .45 Colt (Long Colt). .45 Schofield will fit but may not headspace correctly, and .45 ACP requires moon clips that won’t work with this cylinder.

Is the engraving hand-done or laser?

Per Taylors & Company specs, it’s laser-engraved but with deep, crisp lines that mimic hand-cut work. At a glance, most folks can’t tell the difference, and it holds up well to regular handling.

What holster fits this revolver?

Any holster made for a 4.75″ barreled Colt Single Action Army or clone will fit. I recommend a good basket-weave or floral-carved holster to match the engraved look.
