Description
The Taylor’s & Company 1873 Cattleman is a faithful, modern reproduction of the iconic single-action revolver that defined the American West. This Birdshead variant pairs the time-honored 1873 frame with the distinctive birdshead grip, producing a compact “belly-gun” profile that sits naturally in the hand and is perfectly suited for cowboy-action shooting, casual plinking, or display in any western-style collection.
Chambered in .357 Magnum, the Cattleman Birdshead carries a 6-round cylinder and a short, handy 3.50-inch barrel. The all-steel frame, cylinder, and barrel wear a bright nickel-plated finish end to end, giving the revolver a polished, eye-catching appearance that contrasts cleanly with the smooth ivory synthetic Birdshead grips. An exposed hammer rides at the rear for traditional thumb-cocking, while the sight picture is kept simple and effective with a blade front sight paired with a notched rear.
Tipping the scales at 2.35 lbs and stretching 9.05 inches overall, the Birdshead Cattleman is light and compact enough to carry all day in a western rig, yet still carries the reassuring heft of an all-steel revolver. It is a true single-action-only (SAO) design that requires the hammer to be manually cocked before each shot, just like the original 1873 Single Action Army it emulates.
