Taylor's Gunfighter Defender: Purpose-Built for Larger Hands
Taylor's has taken the proven 1873 single-action platform and reimagined it for shooters who need more grip real estate. The Gunfighter Defender features the larger 1860 Army grip frame—longer and wider than the standard Navy grip—making it the ideal choice for those with bigger hands who want authentic single-action performance without compromise.

Why the Army Grip Matters
The 1860 Army grip is a time-tested design that provides superior control for shooters with larger hands. This isn't a cosmetic choice—it's a functional upgrade that improves accuracy, reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions, and enhances overall handling characteristics.
