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.

@Aspen7780 9 дней назад

@@oolooo maybe it was just where I grew up. Out west in a community of ranchers and old homestead families. The word “handgun” wasn’t in use. Never heard of that word till later in life. “Pistol” was the generic catch all term used. If you wanted to be specific then you could say semi auto or revolver. It’s kind of like how we used the word “coke” to mean all carbonated soft drinks. Just like the word pistol, I had to stop saying “coke” as a young adult because I started working with people from other parts of the country who would make fun of me. But that was the term we used back then. I had to adopt the word handgun just like I had to adopt the word soda, but these weren’t the terms that we used growing up.

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.

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.

Ok . Since you feel that way , Ruger , certain models of Pietta , a couple of discontinued , but still common , and probably a couple obscure ones I'm not remembering their action offhand , will be right up your alley . Everything " new " doesn't instantly replace the previous technology , and some products hit a sweet spot and remain long term wide use . But the extreme of your reasoning , when Colt introduced the New Model Army & Navy Revolver aka M1889 . they should have instantly discontinued the Model P .

@TheLoneRanger745 Месяц назад

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.

@doranmaxwell1755 Месяц назад

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.

@wesleyhalpern184 Месяц назад

@doranmaxwell1755 Месяц назад

@@wesleyhalpern184 yep but there was no 'black powder' frame as such. and just having the spring release does not mean you have a gun meant for smokeless.

@willbar1961 Месяц назад

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...

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.

Great vid. An important difference between the Ruger Vaquero and the other Colt clones is that the Ruger's cylinder spins both ways. Remember, don't use +P, ++P ammo in these guns, including the New Vaquero. The old Vaquero was much stouter and can handle heavy loads.

Hope your transfer bar never breaks when you NEED it! Had that happen to me once (luckily I was just target shooting). Was without the gun for over six months waiting for Ruger to get it back to me. At least they fixed it for free and paid shipping both ways. Sold those Rugers, went to Ubertis (Taylor made, but still made by Ubertis) and NEVER LOOKED BACK! I don't mind a Ruger double action (hell, TRY to find a double action without a transfer bar), but the only single action Ruger I'd ever buy again would be an old 3 screw that hadn't been changed over to the New Model action (Ruger offered to convert the old models at one time, and still MAY, I don't know). The ORIGINAL Ruger Blackhawk has an action basically original to the first generation Colt, except Ruger used coil springs instead of leaf.

@KeithSouthwest 29 дней назад

Either it's your shooting or the pistols sites. But that point of aim would bother me. I'm curious where number two shoots.

@DaGunGuy 29 дней назад

I’m pretty sure it’s my shooting but I’ll give number 2 a go and see.

@DaGunGuy 25 дней назад

Shot number 2. They both shoot about an inch left of point of aim. I tend to always shoot left with new guns until I get used to the trigger so our cameraman John shot it too. He also shot left. Well post a video soon.

Everyone saying this is a first entry forgets the Taurus gaucho. Nice gun though it is more of a second model.

@evocati6523 26 дней назад

$17 for the gun then another $10 to plug up a hole and get caked in carbon? Man these cowboys just had money to burn even on $1 a day

@drmitofit2673 23 дня назад

In the finale of Fist Full of Dollars, Eastwood loads only one round and spins the cylinder, so only 1 chance in 6 that his gun will fire. Unless you assume he is so skilled that he can stop/time the spin to stop at 5 indexes. His opponent loads one round in a Winchester rifle, so 100% chance he is loaded.

Took mine to the range 2 days ago and it performed brilliantly. So I have to disagree on what the hammer sounds like.

@DaGunGuy 28 дней назад

I’d tend to agree with you. It performed much better at the range than I thought it would. Shot very nice.

@DaGunGuy 25 дней назад

Mine shoot left about an inch from point of aim. Did you find that with yours?

@carllee3465 14 дней назад

You dent show the target and how it groups that is important

@DaGunGuy 14 дней назад

The groups are pretty good. I shoot left generally but the groups were probably 1" - 2"

As far as I'm concerned, you can pronounce Taurus any way you want. However, there is no US "calvary". But there is a US "cavalry". 😉

You keep calling it a "Budget" gun. So just how much does this Budget gun cost? Would be nice to include the price of new guns, in your videos. Other than that, I liked the video.

@DaGunGuy 8 дней назад

Thanks. I’ve got to rewatch the video because I thought I said the price. But I got both guns for about 900.

Gotta be honest, really would've preferred they don't engrave "deputy" on the barrel and went with some wooden grips rather than the more modern ones. Just seems weird to see black rubber on such a classic design.

@t.c.robinson6608 13 дней назад

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,

@tpelle2 9 дней назад

OK, I am totally indifferent as to how you pronounce Taurus. But what really, REALLY gets under my skin is when people refer to the branch of the Army that rode horses into combat as "CAL-va-ry". Read the word. It's Cavalry, not Calvary. Calvary (In Latin, or Golgotha in Greek) was the hill outside of Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified, and has no relation to anybody riding horses or shooting six-shooters. Jeez! Get it right! Whew! Now that I got that out of my system.......Colt, as a company, has always seemed to make really poor business decisions. Yes, when WWII production started and Colt needed all the factory floor space to build M1911s, BARs, and Browning machine guns, they simply cleared all of the Single Action Army production machinery out side into a field behind the factory, out in the weather. After the war was won, do you know what happened? Television, and all of the TV Westerns. Suddenly everyone wanted SAAs. But Colts machinery were rusted into scrap metal. Now there were truckloads of old SAAs in barns and dresser drawers, and pickup truck glove compartments that were all worn out and covered with rust themselves. Now there so happened to be a guy named Hy Hunter who had a business of providing the Movie and TV industry with all sorts of props appropriate for use in producing these shows, and he had people scouring the old west buying all of this "junk" up, and his company would clean this stuff up and rent it out for these productions. But decent SAAs were getting hard to find. He approached the Colt company, and inquired if they would object to him making new versions of the SAA revolvers himself, and Colt said it was fine with them, and he could even have all of the drawings and specs, and to please haul all of that rusty junk out behind the building while he was at it.! So Hy Hunter formed a company known as Great Western, and started making new revolvers out in California! It's a little-known fact that the matching pair of revolvers that John Wayne uses in most of his westerns were actually not Colts, but were Great Westerns! Eventually after the enfatuation with western movies and TV shows ran its course, the EMF company purchased the rights to all of the Great Western stuff, and a couple of years ago, in cooperation with Pietta in Italy, has resurrected Great Western as Great Western II and are making a new line of revolvers that are really nice looking, and which are absent of all of the garish rollmarks that so many gun companies are so fond of. I purchased an "Artillery" model and it looks great!
