Taylor's & Co. 1873 Ranch Hand 357 Magnum Revolver

A: Yeah...I think you hit it. Single action revolvers copying the Colt SA rarely have any kind of manual safety. But I have seen some that do.. They use a "hammer block" safety that prevents the hammer from striking anything. Really nice looking gun. Good for just shooting or maybe some "cowboy" competition.

A: Only info I found was no safety and the grips are smaller navy size but here is Taylors info Taylor's & Company, Inc.Phone: 540.722.2017

A: Hi David, The firing pin is mounted to the hammer which has a lightly checked spur for improved cocking. As a single-action revolver, the hammer must be fully cocked for each shot fired. It should be noted here that the hammer has three positions, each of which is accompanied by a distinctive "click" as the hammer moves through its arch of travel. The first click is the safe position. 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. The grips are "slightly narrower".

A: No transfer bar safety

A: this is the new Floating firing pin gun

A: Charles, Taylors and Co has gone to the "Floating Firing pin" on this latest batch of Cattleman 1873 Pistols.

A: No firing pin on the hammer

A: Aaron, this is essentially an internal hammer mechanism that works with a retractable firing pin floating free within an internal guide. When the hammer is not cocked the firing pin floats inside the head of the hammer and cannot exert any forward pressure on a chambered round. In order for that to happen, the hammer must first be cocked, and only then will the sear that engages the firing pin allow it to lock in the forward position. As soon as the gun is fired, or the hammer is lowered, the firing pin floats free again. Think of it as a Glock trigger safety inside of a revolver's hammer. The best part is that from the outside the retractable firing pin allows the hammer and frame to look exactly as they should (and did back in the day), allowing this new line of Uberti, Taylors and other Single Actions to look exactly like their historical predecessors.

A: Yes it will Mitchell. All day long Sir.

A: yes it will.You will just have to clean the cylinder good to prevent a carbon ring for forming and causing .357 ammo to be hard to load
