The Taylor’s & Company 1873 SA TC9 Birdshead in 9mm (MPN 200111) pairs a compact 3.5-inch nickel-finished barrel with a Birdshead grip frame, giving shooters a shorter, easier-to-conceal single-action revolver chambered in a modern, widely available cartridge. Taylor’s & Company fits this revolver with a blade front and notched rear sight, and the 6-round cylinder feeds standard 9mm ammunition. Among Old West reproductions in the revolvers category, the Birdshead TC9 favors shooters who want a compact single action with the practical benefits of 9mm.

Key Specifications

• Chambered in 9mm, a widely available modern cartridge.
• Built on a single-action revolver with a Birdshead grip frame.
• Features a compact 3.5-inch barrel in a nickel finish.
• Holds 6 rounds in the cylinder.
• Uses blade front, notched rear sight.
• Shipping weight of approximately 3 pounds.
• Like other modern-production single-action reproductions, the firing pin is a separate spring-loaded part mounted in the frame rather than fixed to the hammer, letting every chamber be loaded safely instead of requiring an empty chamber under the hammer as with an original period design.
• Loads and unloads one round at a time through a loading gate on the right side of the frame, with a spring-loaded ejector rod for pushing out spent cases.
• As a traditional single-action design, the hammer must be manually cocked before every shot.
• The cylinder is removed for cleaning by opening the loading gate, half-cocking the hammer, and withdrawing the spring-retained cylinder base pin, a simple owner-level takedown.
