The Taylor’s & Company Gunfighter Defender in .45 Colt (MPN RC1/555170DE) fits the larger 1860 Army grip onto a New Model Cattleman frame, giving shooters with bigger hands more surface to hold onto than the standard Navy grip found on most 1873 single actions. Taylor’s & Company case-hardens the forged steel frame, blues the steel parts, lowers the hammer spur for faster cocking, and fits a checkered Army-size walnut grip. The 5.5-inch barrel and 6-round cylinder complete this tuned single action. Among Old West single actions in the revolvers category, the Gunfighter Defender favors larger-handed shooters who want a lower hammer spur along with the bigger grip.
