Taylors Runnin Iron 45 Colt Black Rock Overview
Taylor’s & Company has imported faithful reproductions of classic American firearms for decades, most of them built by Uberti and Pietta in Italy, and many feature Taylor’s own action tuning for smoother operation. The Runnin’ Iron is a tuned single action revolver set up for cowboy action shooting. Revolvers remain popular because they are simple to operate and very forgiving. There is no slide to rack and no magazine to seat, and a misfire is cleared by simply pulling the trigger again.
The trade-off is capacity and reload speed, so a few speedloaders or moon clips are worth adding. Practice the double action trigger pull regularly, because a smooth, steady press is the key to accuracy with any wheelgun.
Design and Features
The single action design uses a loading gate and ejector rod, a case-hardened or color-finished frame on many versions, and walnut or checkered grips. For carry, choose a holster that covers the trigger guard and holds the cylinder snugly, and practice reloading with speedloaders or speed strips until the motion is smooth. Keep the cylinder and forcing cone clean, since lead and carbon build up there first, and inspect the timing occasionally by watching the cylinder lock up as the hammer falls.
Handling and Carry
Its tuned action and slick lockwork make it fast on the clock.
Trigger and Controls
The single action trigger is crisp once the hammer is cocked, and like originals it is safest carried with the hammer down on an empty chamber.
Sights and Optics
The factory sights give a clear, quick sight picture, and an optic-ready slide (where fitted) lets you add a red dot whenever you are ready.
The 45 Colt Cartridge
The 45 Colt offers a good balance of power, accuracy, and recoil for its intended use.
Setup and Accessories
Pick a holster made for your revolver’s frame size and barrel length, and add speedloaders or speed strips so you can reload quickly.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the revolver and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the breech face and slide rails. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
