The Taylors & Company 1873 Runnin Iron .45 LC 3.5" Cattleman revolver brings classic single-action design to modern shooters who want authentic feel without breaking the bank. Built on the proven 1873 frame, this short-barrel .45 LC revolver is built for shooters who value quick handling and genuine period aesthetics—whether you're loading up for Cowboy Action Shooting, keeping a piece of Old West history at hand, or simply exploring what made the original so iconic. At 9 inches overall and 2.16 pounds, it's manageable enough for one-handed carry but substantial enough to shoot true.
Single-action revolvers demand respect and attention—they're not point-and-shoot tools. Every trigger pull on the Runnin Iron requires you to manually cock the hammer, and the .45 LC cartridge carries serious power. The 3.5-inch barrel strikes a balance between portability and sight radius, and the widened blade front sight is built for the kind of deliberate aiming that single-action shooting demands. Checkered walnut grips provide secure purchase and honest grip texture; the blued finish is classic, though remember that blued steel requires maintenance in the field.
The 1873 Cattleman profile is unmistakable, and Taylors & Company's version respects that lineage while keeping the gun accessible. The 6-round capacity is standard for the action type. This is a revolver for shooters who understand what they're operating—folks who take time to load, shoot intentionally, and appreciate mechanical simplicity. It's at home in the hands of Cowboy Action competitors, collectors, or anyone serious enough about revolvers to do the work right.
| Caliber | .45 LC |
| Action | Single Action |
| Barrel Length | 3.5" |

Yes—the 1873 Runnin Iron is built on the classic Cattleman frame and is designed for the kinds of shooting that Cowboy Action competitors use. The single-action trigger, 6-round capacity, and .45 LC caliber are all standards in the sport.
Blued steel is a thin, protective coating that requires regular care. After shooting, wipe the gun down and apply a light protective oil to prevent rust and wear. Blued guns are beautiful but need more attention than stainless or modern finishes, especially in wet or humid conditions.
The 3.5-inch barrel offers a practical balance between portability and sight radius. Single-action revolver accuracy depends heavily on the shooter's technique, sight picture, and trigger control. The widened blade front sight is designed to support deliberate aiming at typical handgun distances.
