The Taylor’s & Company Gunfighter Defender .357 Magnum is a six-shot single-action revolver with a 4.75-inch barrel and a case hardened frame (part no. 555167). Taylor’s & Company combined the original Gunfighter features with the lowered Runnin’ Iron hammer and fitted an 1860 Army grip on the new model frame. The result is a larger grip for bigger hands, finished in checkered walnut. It also accepts .38 Special cartridges.
