Taylors and Company 1851 Open-Top Revolver — .45 Colt, 5.50″

The Taylors and Company 1851 Open-Top is a reproduction of an early cartridge-era single-action revolver chambered for 45 Long Colt. It pairs a color case-hardened steel frame with a blued finish barrel and cylinder and a walnut Navy-size grip with brass backstrap and trigger guard. The revolver ships with a 5.50″ barrel and a six-round capacity, and it carries period-correct exposed-hammer styling and fixed sights.
