The Taylor’s & Company Hickok Open Top in .38 Special (MPN 550958) puts a modern twist on the classic 1871-72 Open Top design, Colt’s first revolver built specifically to fire a centerfire cartridge, with a snub-nose 3.5-inch barrel. Taylor’s & Company builds the Hickok with a case-hardened forged steel frame, a round barrel with a front blade sight, no ejector rod, blued steel grip parts, and an Army-sized walnut grip. Among classic-styled six-guns in the revolvers category, the Hickok favors history-minded shooters who want a snub-nose take on the original centerfire-cartridge Colt design.
