Features 

 
The lever action cycles smoothly and allows quick follow-up shots. The walnut stock is solid and comfortable over a long session. At 20 inches, the octagonal barrel adds a bit of weight up front, which helps dampen muzzle rise. The blade-and-buckhorn sight setup is traditional and works well at practical ranges. 
 
Good fit for hunters after small to medium game, SASS competitors, or anyone who shoots lever-guns regularly and wants a .357 that accepts both .357 Mag and .38 Spl.

Owners of the Taylor's 1873 Comanchero in .357 Mag generally like it. The walnut-and-case-hardened look gets consistent praise. It's one of the cleaner-finished imports in this price range. The lever action is smooth out of the box, which matters for anyone running it in competition or just working through a magazine quickly.

The .357 Mag chambering draws positive comments for its flexibility: the gun also accepts .38 Spl, so training and practice rounds are cheaper. Hunters note it's effective on deer-sized game at woods distances.

The main complaint is weight. At 7.90 lbs it's on the heavier end for a .357 lever gun, and some owners find it tiring to carry in the field all day. A few users also compare it unfavorably to higher-end domestic lever actions on fit and finish details, though most find the quality acceptable for the price.
