Overview
The Taylor's Old Randall is a single-action revolver chambered in .45 Colt, a modern reproduction of the 1873 Colt Single Action Army built in Italy by Uberti on the Cattleman II platform and distributed by Taylor's & Company. It pairs a matte-blued forged-steel frame, case-hardened hammer, and matte brass backstrap and trigger guard with a Navy-size walnut grip, offered with a 5.5-inch or 4.75-inch round barrel and a six-round cylinder. The Cattleman II retractable firing-pin safety lets it be carried with all six chambers loaded.
