Detailed Review
Taylor's & Company Runnin' Iron is a single-action revolver that was designed with cowboy shooters in mind. It is a historically accurate reproduction of the famous Colt 1873 Single Action Army revolver, but with some modern features that make it easier and more comfortable to shoot.
One of the most noticeable differences between the original Colt SAA and the Runnin' Iron is the grip. The Runnin' Iron has a bird's head grip that is smaller and more ergonomic than the traditional SAA grip. This makes it easier for shooters with smaller hands to get a proper grip and control the revolver. The grip is made of a durable polymer material that is resistant to wear and tear, ensuring the longevity of the gun.
Another modern feature of the Runnin' Iron is the wider rear sight. The original Colts had a narrow V-notch rear sight that was difficult to use in bright sunlight or low-light conditions. The wider rear sight on the Runnin' Iron makes it easier for shooters to acquire a sight picture and aim accurately, even in challenging lighting conditions.
The Runnin' Iron is available in several different calibers, including .45 Colt, .357 Magnum, and .44-40 Winchester. The .45 Colt version is particularly popular among cowboy action shooters, as it is a classic western cartridge that can be loaded with a wide variety of bullet weights and styles. The .357 Magnum and .44-40 Winchester versions are also excellent choices for shooters who prefer a lighter recoil and lower cost of ammunition.
Overall, Taylor's & Company Runnin' Iron is an excellent choice for cowboy action shooters, collectors, or anyone who appreciates the beauty and craftsmanship of a classic revolver. Its modern features make it more comfortable and practical to shoot than the original Colt SAA, while still maintaining its historical accuracy and beauty.
