Taylor & Company Gunfighter Defender Single Action Revolver .357 Mag/.38 Spl 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 shooter-friendly enhancements. Built on the new model Cattleman frame, this revolver pairs the beloved lowered Runnin’ Iron® hammer with the full-sized 1860 Army grip — making it an ideal choice for shooters with larger hands who want traditional aesthetics without sacrificing control or comfort.

The Army grip is notably longer and slightly wider than the standard Navy grip typically found on 1873-pattern single action revolvers, delivering improved purchase and pointability. The checkered walnut grip panels add both grip texture and a refined, classic look. Chambered in .357 Magnum with full .38 Special compatibility, this 6-round revolver handles a versatile range of loads for range shooting, cowboy action competition, or Western-style collecting.

The forged case hardened steel frame is beautifully finished with period-correct color case hardening, while the barrel, cylinder, backstrap, and triggerguard are all finished in rich blued steel. The half-fluted cylinder adds a distinctive visual touch, and the retractable firing pin safety provides a modern safety enhancement without compromising the classic profile. A fixed blade front sight and frame-notch rear sight deliver straightforward, reliable aiming. Taylor tuning is also available for those who want a premium action job.
