The Taylor’s & Company Ranch Hand in .45 Long Colt (brand part no. 550851) is built on the Cattleman new-model forged frame with a long 7.5-inch blued barrel, giving Cowboy Action shooters the classic Cattleman feel with a distinctive brass grip frame. Taylor’s & Company finishes this Ranch Hand with a case-hardened frame, a brass backstrap and trigger guard, and a smaller Navy-size walnut grip. The steel portions follow standard gun care, while the brass parts polish up easily with a metal cleaner. Among single-action reproductions in the revolvers category, the Ranch Hand favors shooters who want the Cattleman design at a more economical price point.
