The Taylor’s Gunfighter Defender in .357 Magnum (brand part no. RC1/555169DE) is a single-action revolver that mounts the classic 1860 Army grip onto a New Model Cattleman frame, giving larger-handed shooters a longer, wider grip than the standard Navy pattern found on typical 1873-style single-actions. Taylor’s & Company builds this checkered model with a case-hardened forged steel frame, blued steel parts, a lowered hammer spur, and a checkered Army-size walnut grip. Among single-action Old West reproductions in the revolvers category, the Gunfighter Defender favors shooters with larger hands who want a period-correct single-action with a more substantial grip.
