Taurus new SA 1873 Colt Clone

[Rebel Dave]

Just received an email from Taurus. They are releasing the "Deputy" an 1873 mod colt SA 51/2 inch and in .45 Colt, and .357 mag. Polished blk finish. Looks pretty nice, in the pics.
I have 2 of their "Gauchos" in .357. I wonder if parts from them will interchange,??.
All in all it looks pretty good.

Looks nice, what kind of price?

 

[.38 Special]

I do wish the manufacturers would stop writing all over their barrels. Otherwise, it's an attractive, classic gun.

 

[Rebel Dave]

Price looks to be $606.99 MSRP. I'll guess street price will be about $450.00 -- $500.00.
Heres a pic of my 2 Taurus Gauchos in .357 mag, with my PT 1911.

What does the OTHER side look like?

Please tell me it doesn't have LAWYER VOMIT all over it.

I call that a pretty good-looking gun, with the exception of the gigantic "Deputy" billboard. That one bit makes it look like a cap gun fresh out of the blister pack.

Any changes from their previous SAA-type guns? How many clicks? Transfer bar?

 

[doubleh]

I looked on Tautus' website and questioned google. No information at all on it's inner workings so far as I could find. I have owned a guacho for years and like it.

 

[.38 Special]

Way down deep in the website it mentions a transfer bar. I can't find any other details.

I'm a long-time fan of Taurus since the 90s and might have to check this out. I don't currently have any 5 1/2" SAAs. Or any in .357/.38. Not sure I want one other than .45 though.

 

[W.E.G.]

Clever that they built it with THREE SCREWS, but still are doing transfer-bar.

A competitor:

1873 SA 5.5" .45LC Black Grip

This 1873 single action is a perfect combination of the old west and today's modern cartridge ammo. It features a steel case hardened frame with blued steel parts. It is fit with a two-piece checkered black plastic Navy size grip.

Hope it’s a 4-click and no crap!

Funny thing, I was watching Twilight Zone last night, and had my 1964 Colt, well it sleep next to me, and now I wake up to think good news!

 

[Tallball]

I've had some good Taurus revolvers. Too bad for them I already have those SAA bases covered by Uberti and Pietta.

I predict a sale.. $400!

 

[Rebel Dave]

My 2 Taurus Gauchos have the transfer bar system, with 4 clicks.

hmm. just by looking at it I don't think I will be tempted away from buying an italian gun when the time comes.

 

[WestKentucky]

If they have an option for adjustable sights in I’m in for a 357. I personally am a fan of most Taurus products that are not polymer in primary construction. Between their news on a bolt action rifle and now this, I may legitimately buy nothing but Taurus/Rossi for a year or two… but I do like the idea of a S&W lever gun. My bank account is puckered up and waiting for impact.

MSRP $500ish, per the Taurus rep (Caleb Giddings) in the YT video I watched earlier.

yes to a transfer bar

 

[45 Dragoon]

Specs say cyl is 1.65" ( Uberti is 1.73") so . . . no "spirited" loads in this like you can a Cattleman.

[ECVMatt]

Definitely like the Taylor more!

I have had very mixed results with Taurus firearms in the past.

Having said that, I think the more options the better. I am glad to see a new six-gun on the market and hope the Taurus sells well.

 

[shafter]

Looks decent but my Taylor's reproduction with 45 Colt and 45ACP cylinder was just a bit more expensive and has gorgeous bluing and the grips are amazing.
