The Deputy - Taurus' 1873 Colt SAA Clone Reviewed

Taurus recently entered the 1873 Single Action Army clone market with The Deputy. The Deputy is a 4 click clone of Samuel Colt's "Peacemaker". It comes in both 357 Magnum and 45 Long Colt. In this video, we take a look at the history of the Single Action Army Revolver, unbox a set of Taurus' Deputies, take the guns out to the range for some test shooting, compare these budget friendly pistols with the more expensive Ruger Vaquero (and honestly more quality) and finally test one of the myths from the Old West to see if we can shoot a "six shooter" with some "burying money" loaded in the sixth chamber.
WATCH MORE: Removing and re-assembling the cylinder in under 1 minute: • Removing and Replacing...
NOTE: The "gunfighter" model of the Colt measured 4.75" and NOT 4.5" as was incorrectly stated in the video at time code: 2:50 and the Deputy matches the 4.75" NOT 4.5" which is correctly stated thereafter. Thanks to the viewers who caught the misstatement so we could correct it!!! Appreciated!
Also, it seems I say "wild" Earp instead of "Wyatt" in the video - really just a slip of the tongue BUT condolences for all the cardiac arrests this seems to have caused.

    “Revolving Pistol.” It bothers me that strict nomenclature folks go after anyone calling a revolver a pistol. Billy the Kid was called the Prince of Pistoleers not Prince of Revolvereers. Gunfighters in the southwest were called Pistoleros not Revolveros. There are also some interesting historical discussions about the loading, carrying, and safety of the colt SAA by plowboys ghost and 11bangbang.

    So we did a video which we'll have coming up with a larger "bill" - actually a piece of paper cut to the right size. We could not get it in the 357 chamber without it jamming BUT the diameter of the 45 Colt would be bigger and it would have fit. If we folded it to reduce the length it would work in the 45 BUT you can see me jamming up a perfected good 357 revolver in the video.

    And ...The first release 1873 had a set screw for the base pin retainer. The second release 1879 was changed to a spring loaded base pin keeper . So the cylinder could be changed out quicker in the field, carbon build up on the front of the cylinder and forcing cone would slow up or stop the cylinder from turning . Taurus did a good job on a frist time release of the Model "P" Single action Army . Uberti makes one of the finest Reproduction you can buy for just a few more dollars . You would be shooting yourself in the foot to not look at the Uberti first. Also Cimarron and Taylor & company.

    yep they call it the black powder frame these days which is... well.. lazy.. like saying 'long Colt' I have the Uberti clones and they are the 1st or 'bp' frame... with smokeless of course that is not an issue and I admit I like the looks better and also the bullseye ejector rod. This Taurus is just awful in my opinion... "polished black' ? you mean black paint finish? I want blue and color case but that is just me. On my percussion clones I have nickel plated em (anyone can do it) and I plate everything that is not wood or color case. I think they are very good looking and mostly historical and clean up better and more durable.

    The frames are generally known also as either OM (old model, screw retention, round ejector rod knob, thinner front sight and the Pre War with push button release, smaller ejector knob and wider front sight. There are probably other differences. I have Ruger, Pietta and Uberti (and American company rebadged versions of the italian clones. EMF, Beretta, etc.). The Pietta made are 4 click hammers with no safety and have a better action than the Uberti made, but the Uberti are better finished/smoother edges and they have a version of a safety depending on when it was made and probably the importer specifications. The Ruger I have is the original Vaquero, large framed and a Bisley grip. It's a tank! I may try the Taurus in the future. SA clones are just neat guns. Then there are the Black Powder cartridge conversion guns...

    I know there are some people that don’t like transfer bars they say they’re not original to it and so on. The fact of the matter is Samuel Colt made many changes and improvements to his original design. He just didn’t get to this one before he died. The people that say, you don’t need it are the same people that think that drum breaks are OK and we should’ve never went to disc on a car. And remember if you don’t like something, don’t buy it. Myself I would definitely like to be able to carry one more round safely.

    @@markzimmerman7279 yes he did, and if he had lived longer, he would’ve changed the way the revolver that he invented or coinvented and improved on he would’ve improved on it more. The same reason we don’t make model ts things change for good or bad and mostly for the good. I don’t know anybody that would like riding around in Henry Ford‘s first car every day with no heat really bad brakes. Poor headlights now air conditioning on a transfer bar doesn’t affect how well the gun fires doesn’t affect the trigger. I’ve proven this to dozens of my friends given them and original single action cold and a new Ruger blindfolded them had them fire it they couldn’t tell the difference. The fact is and it’s a fact that a modern single action revolver is built better than the original single action Colts. Trust me every cowboy everybody in the military back in the day that carried an old one or a new one would pick the new one because it would be, a better choice to save their lives. Leslie, do I love my old sing actions absolutely absolutely if my life depends on one. I’m picking a new one with a transfer bar that holds six instead of five safely every single time.

    my problem with the transfer bar safety is that its too easy to forget that its engaged when safety prevents the gun firing it isnt immediately obvious the safety is on and its in its situated in such a way that that you have take the gun off and your eyes off the target to disengage the safety then get back on target granted thats not much of problem these days but in the old days when the s.a.a. was used by the military and law enforcement in situations where where seconds counted it would meant life or death That being said i always load 5 and carry on an empty cylinder even when im just shooting for fun or target practice

    *Constructive Criticism;* *1). Your only problem with reassembling the cylinder guide rod on either brand, was that you closed the loading gate first.* *2). Notice your accuracy when shooting left handed, during a steady trigger pull, was more centered.(?) that's because you're left eye dominant.

    There is no such thing as 45 Long Colt It is just 45 Colt . 44-40 actually 44 WCF 38-40 actually 38 WCF The reason you are fighting the cylinder pin is because you are supposed to put it on half cock, 2 clicks. Then you will very easily be able to remove and return the cylinder. If you continue to do it the way you are, you can damage the cylinder hand,

    Everyones eyes are different but there are ways to 'adjust' guns with fixed sights... Colts did shoot high at close range. They were maybe regulated to shoot POA at about 30 yards. They point so well tho that Colt felt that anything less than about 15' you did not use the sights. I find this to be correct. my nightstand gun is a Uberti in 44 spl I can hip shoot cans at 10' pretty easy and point shoot out to 20 or more feet no problem.... sooooo night time... gonna be dark right? gonna need a gun that points well at short distance....Now my 1911's and other revolvers do point well and will do but I just love my Uberti 4.75" in 44 spl... call me old fashioned
