Also known as: Smoke Wagon Deluxe, Taylor's & Co. Smoke Wagon Deluxe
Overview
The Taylor's Smoke Wagon Deluxe is a single-action revolver chambered in .45 Colt, a period-correct clone of the Colt Single Action Army built for Taylor's & Company by Uberti of Italy. The Deluxe model receives a Taylor-tuned action with lighter springs for a crisp trigger, a low-profile hammer, and wider combat-style sights for faster alignment. It rides on a forged case-hardened steel frame with a blued barrel and cylinder and thin checkered walnut grips, aimed at cowboy action shooters and Old West enthusiasts.
