The Taylor’s & Company Gunfighter Defender in .357 Magnum, which also fires .38 Special (MPN 555167), combines the original Gunfighter’s features with a lowered Runnin’ Iron hammer for faster single-action cocking. Taylor’s & Company builds this single-action revolver with a case-hardened forged steel frame, blued 4.75-inch barrel with a 1-in-18.75-inch right-hand twist, and a checkered walnut Army-size grip sized for larger hands. The half-fluted cylinder holds 6 rounds, and the design uses a retractable firing pin on the hammer as its safety. Among single-action revolvers in the revolvers category, the Gunfighter Defender favors cowboy-action shooters who want a faster-cocking hammer and a larger grip.
