Owners of the Taylor's & Co. 1873 Cattleman Taylor Tuned point to the factory action work as the main selling point. The Taylor Tuned treatment smooths the trigger and hammer travel relative to a standard Cattleman, and most owners find it noticeably better out of the box.

The 7.5-inch barrel and 44-40 chambering appeal to cowboy action shooters and single action enthusiasts. Some owners note that 44-40 ammunition is less available than .45 Colt, which factors into long-term ownership costs.

Build quality through Uberti manufacturing is generally well-regarded. A common observation is that the case hardened finish varies in pattern from one gun to the next, which some collectors see as a feature and others find inconsistent.
