When choosing a single-action revolver for competition or for a high-quality historic reproduction in your safe, attention to mechanical refinement and sighting speed matters. This revolver balances traditional lines with modern tuning to deliver fast, reliable performance on the range while remaining an attractive collectible.
TAYLOR’S & CO. SHORT STROKE SMOKE WAGON
Design and build: traditional form with precision finishing
This Short Stroke Smoke Wagon reproduces a classic short-stroke single-action revolver profile with a 5.12-inch barrel and chambered for .45 Long Colt — a caliber with proven terminal performance and manageable recoil for experienced shooters. The revolver features a deep blue finish paired with a case-hardened frame that gives both corrosion resistance and an attractive two-tone appearance. The Navy-size checkered grip is richly detailed for comfort and consistent hand placement, aiding repeatable sight alignment and follow-through.
Action and tuning for competition
Taylor Tuned performance
The Taylor Tuned variant takes the platform further: custom-tuned hammer and base pin springs, a trigger pull set at a crisp three pounds, jig-cut positive angles on triggers and sears, and a wire bolt spring. Those changes produce one of the smoothest hammer and trigger pulls available in a reproduction revolver, translating directly into faster splits and improved group consistency in timed events.
Sights and sight acquisition
A widened sight channel and a widened front blade speed up target acquisition—important for competition stages where transitions matter. Combined with the more neutral trigger break, shooters will notice faster, more confident shots under time pressure.
