Taylor's & Company 1873 Cattleman SAO .45 Colt Case Hardened Frame with Blued Components Revolver

A: Yes. According to Taylor : Thanks to a modern hammer safety, not found on the original 1873 model, the Cattleman revolvers can be carried with all six chambers loaded when the hammer is in this first position. The second click frees the cylinder to rotate clockwise for loading. The third click is fully cocked. With the hammer in this position the revolver is ready to fire.

A: No Transfer bar. But my Taylors has 3 other safeties. There is the one that is a quarter click on the hammer, this is made to be where you have the hammer when you carry it. Then there is the inertia safety built into the hammer face. Then there is the cylinder pin on these. You push a button and slide the pin in and it goes through the frame and blocks the hammer from coming down all the way down on the cartridge.

A: No transfer bar on the Taylor's model,just the firing pin.

A: Yes it does Shawn. A lot of folks say only 3 clicks. The 1st click is very fast and most miss it. Slow it down and it's there.

A: Ryan, fit and finish is actually excellent and the grip to receiver fit is flush.

A: Ian, yes Sir, this model now includes the "Retractable Firing Pin" so it is safe to carry with all Chambers loaded.

The new Uberti Cattleman II Brass and Steel models with retractable firing pins avoid pin on primer issues while enabling the revolver to look 100 percent historically authentic from the outside. Traditionally, cowboys have always carried their single-action revolver with the hammer resting on an empty chamber. The reason for this is that otherwise the fixed firing pin could be rested on a live primer, thus risking discharge if the hammer were to be struck or bumped. The new and innovative Uberti retractable firing pin floats free in its guide inside the hammer, thereby exerting no pressure towards a chambered round. Only when the trigger is pressed from a fully cocked position will the sear
