The Taylors & Company Devil Anse is a single-action revolver chambered in .45 Colt, finished in Taylor's polished color case-hardened steel with a blued barrel and cylinder. The 4.75-inch barrel and classic lines place it squarely in the cowboy-action tradition.

Features 

The forged steel construction and polished case-hardened frame give the Devil Anse a genuinely attractive finish that reads as vintage rather than mass-produced. Single-action operation means you cock the hammer before each shot, which slows the pace but sharpens the trigger pull. The blade front and fixed rear sights are standard for the platform and work fine at practical revolver distances. Matte black wood grips are comfortable during longer sessions. 
 

Usage 

This revolver is well suited for cowboy action shooting competitions, where the SAO platform is the norm and the case-hardened finish will draw attention on the line. Collectors who appreciate firearms tied to American history will find the Devil Anse aesthetically compelling. The .45 Colt caliber and 6-round capacity also make it a credible defensive option, though most buyers come for the shooting sport and collection value.

Shooters and collectors consistently appreciate the Devil Anse's case-hardened finish, which gives it a vintage character that stands out among production revolvers. Range performance is generally rated positively, smooth action, accurate at practical distances, and the .45 Colt cartridge performs as expected.

The historical connection to American cowboy culture adds appeal for enthusiasts who care about that context. Ergonomics get favorable marks, though opinions on weight and balance vary by preference. Pricing occasionally comes up as a point of debate. Some buyers feel it's fair for a quality revolver with this level of fit and finish, while others compare it unfavorably to budget competitors. Customization interest is common, with many owners asking about stocks, grips, and aftermarket options. Collectors note the revolver's limited availability at times adds to its desirability.

The first thing that caught my attention was how good this revolver looks. The finish and overall presentation give it the classic character I wanted. More importantly, the tuned action feels exceptionally nice in operation, with a smoothness that stands out every time I handle it. That combination of handsome appearance and a properly tuned action is exactly what makes this one special to me.
