Taylor Gunfighter Defender 4.75″ .45LC Revolver

Description

The Taylor Gunfighter Defender .45LC revolver represents the perfect blend of Old West authenticity and modern shooter comfort. This single-action revolver features the beloved lowered Runnin’ Iron® hammer paired with Taylor’s signature Gunfighter design elements, creating a firearm that performs as beautifully as it looks.

Key Specifications

The Gunfighter Defender .45LC comes equipped with a 4.75″ blued steel barrel, ideal for both target shooting and practical applications. The case-hardened forged steel frame provides authentic period appearance while delivering reliable performance. With an overall length of 10.35″ and a 6-round capacity, this revolver balances maneuverability with adequate firepower. The half-fluted, blued steel cylinder and fixed blade front sight combine classic styling with functional design, while the rear sight notch in the frame maintains traditional single-action aesthetics.

Comfort-Focused Design

What truly sets the Gunfighter Defender .45LC apart is its Army-size walnut grip. Unlike the smaller Navy grip found on standard 1873 models, this longer and slightly wider grip accommodates shooters with larger hands, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The checkered walnut finish provides excellent grip security even when wearing gloves, and the Army profile distributes recoil more comfortably across the hand.

Performance & Ballistics

The .45LC caliber is renowned for its stopping power and accuracy at practical distances. With a 0.442″ bore diameter and 6-groove rifling with a right-hand 1-in-16″ twist, this revolver stabilizes ammunition effectively and delivers consistent accuracy. The retractable firing pin mounted on the hammer ensures safe handling and storage, while the single-action trigger provides a clean break preferred by precision shooters. The blued steel backstrap and triggerguard complete the professional appearance while providing excellent durability.

Intended Use

The Gunfighter Defender .45LC is purpose-built for cowboy action shooting, historical reenactment, and traditional Western sport shooting. Its 4.75″ barrel length provides the accuracy needed for competition while maintaining the classic profile that competitors and enthusiasts prefer. The revolver’s balance and ergonomic design make it equally suitable for collecting, recreational shooting, or anyone seeking an authentic single-action experience.
