Taylor & Company Gunfighter Defender Single Action Revolver .45 Colt 4.75″ Barrel Case Hardened Steel Frame

The Taylor & Company Gunfighter Defender is a masterfully crafted single-action revolver that blends classic Western heritage with thoughtful ergonomic refinements. Chambered in .45 Colt and built on a new model Cattleman frame, this revolver features the beloved lowered Runnin’ Iron® hammer spur for a smooth, fast draw and reduced snag potential — making it an outstanding choice for Cowboy Action Shooting and serious single-action enthusiasts alike.

Designed for the larger-handed shooter, the Gunfighter Defender is fitted with the longer, slightly wider 1860 Army-style checkered walnut grip, offering a more commanding and comfortable hold compared to the standard Navy grip found on most 1873 single-action models. Every detail speaks to quality: a case-hardened forged steel frame, blued steel barrel, triggerguard, and backstrap, and a half-fluted blued cylinder — all combining Old West aesthetics with dependable modern craftsmanship.
