Why forged frames matter

Forged frames are a defining feature of this revolver. Forging aligns the metal’s grain structure, producing a stronger, more uniform component than cast parts. For competitive shooters that translates to improved longevity, resistance to stress, and consistent lockup over thousands of rounds. That strength supports reliable timing and durability under repeated recoil and handling.

Single-action mechanics and hand-tuned triggers

The single-action design is straightforward and serviceable—cock the hammer, squeeze the trigger, and the gun fires. The Deluxe Models receive additional hand tuning that refines the sear engagement and travel, yielding a smoother, lighter, and more consistent trigger that helps lower split times in competition and reduces shooter fatigue during long practice sessions.

Designed by Taylor’s & Co. and available in various models, the 1873 balances authenticity with modern manufacturing controls. At a price of $752.99, it offers competitive value for shooters seeking a durable, performance-oriented single-action revolver in the revolver category.
