Detailed Features 

The break-open action is the simplest possible mechanism for a double gun: tip the barrels down, load two shells, close, and fire. The color case hardened receiver has the mottled blue-brown finish that was standard on quality American guns from the late 19th century. Chrome lining in the barrels protects against corrosion and makes cleaning easier. The fixed walnut stock has enough length and drop to fit most shooters without adjustment. 
 

Usage 

Cowboy action competition is the primary use case. The 20-inch barrels and period-accurate finish match the equipment rules for side-by-side stages. It also works for casual range use and small game hunting at close range, where two shots and a simple manual of arms are all you need.

Owners of the Taylor's Wyatt Earp most often comment on the visual appeal. The color case hardening and walnut combination looks the part, and the craftsmanship is generally considered good for the price point in the cowboy action segment.

The break-open action consistently draws positive remarks for smooth, intuitive operation. Users find it easy to load and clear, which matters in timed cowboy action stages.

Weight at 7.05 lbs is heavier than some shooters expect from a short double gun, and opinions on how that affects handling over a long match day vary by individual. Price relative to other side-by-side options in the market comes up in comparisons, with most owners landing on the side of reasonable value given the finish quality and build.
