Detailed Features 

The .357 Magnum chambering also accepts .38 Special, which broadens its practical range from light practice loads to full-power magnum rounds. The 5.5-inch barrel gives good sight radius for target work and adds enough weight to moderate recoil on .357 loads. The walnut Army-size grip is proportioned for standard adult hands and stays comfortable through a range session. Single-action operation means a manually cocked hammer before each shot, which suits both competition shooting rules and shooters who prefer deliberate fire cycles.

Owners of the Taylor's 1873 Gunfighter Deluxe .357 Mag consistently mention the finish quality as the main differentiator from cheaper 1873 clones. The color case-hardened frame and polished blue barrel look good and people say so. Performance at the range gets positive feedback too: smooth action, manageable recoil on .357 loads, accurate for the distances cowboy action shooting demands.

The .357 Magnum / .38 Special flexibility is frequently cited as a practical advantage. Ergonomics come up positively, with most owners finding the walnut grip comfortable for extended shooting. Price is noted as on the higher side compared to some 1873 clones, with most buyers considering the finish and action quality worth the difference. Weight is occasionally mentioned as a factor for those looking for a carry revolver, though at 36 oz and 11.1 inches this is clearly a range and competition gun.
