[@coaltonseale4633]

Hey so on just bought one and on the 4th click the hammer doesn't stay locked. Any ideas why? Could I fix this myself or do I send it back to taurus?

[@cloud5buster]

As it's the deputy, the only authorized way to carry it is unloaded with a single round in your shirt pocket.

[@sharonw2475]

Okay there......deputy Barney Fife !

[@IndraYule]

I'll wait until the Sheriff model comes out

[@gregcampwriter]

Though I tend to be a purist, I like the addition of a transfer bar here, since it allows safe carry of six rounds without changing the external appearance of the revolver.

[@mikemuhlbach2951]

I agree. I ccw Pietta Gunfighters usually only carry 5.

[@sweetdrahthaar7951]

That’s the reason I chose Ruger. I have no interest in single action revolvers that don’t have the transfer bar.

[@gaslyktan]

Everything seems fine, until you pull that hammer back and puke. Its like flipping a horseshoe crab upside down. Omg.

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

I’ve always carried all six on my fixed firing pin Single actions. To do so, I carve a small notch in a few of my case rims; just big enough for the firing pin. Load up all six chambres, wit two notched cases facing each other, and lower the firing pin between the chambres. I’ve carried this way for years while out on the farm, not once worrying about my revolver getting smacked and going off.

[@jimmeyer4822]

@@Beuwen_The_Dragon And you're allowed. But for the average "gun slinger" maybe not good. Meant with respect sir.

[@DonaldWyman]

It's like Taurus made a hybrid of a Colt and a Ruger to have features of both.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

As much as I love case hardening, this one is very attractive. I'll be interested in seeing the detailed one!

[@GunsOfTheWest]

I was thinking that too! There’s just something about the all-black appearance on this one that’s really cool!

[@mkultraification]

"Have gun, will travel reads the card of a man...."

[@Desperado3248]

Not me . Without the case hardened frame it looks like a car without a grill.

[@WhatIfBrigade]

Four clicks with a transfer bar sounds really neat, especially for new shooters. Colt manual of arms, but safe. This is the way it always should have been.

[@stripedassape8148]

Zero drawbacks of the transfer bar other than more parts to wear out which isnt even a real concern✌

[@JGray1968]

It looks like Taurus just brought the Gaucho back with a new name.

[@berniec.461]

Spot on. They did ramp up the quality control considerably, though.

[@JGray1968]

@@berniec.461 The quality of mine is excellent. The timing is solid, it locks up tight, and the action is smooth. I've never fired any heavy loads out of it though. I would like to see whether it can handle more than cowboy action loads, but I'm a little paranoid about trying them.

[@telesniper2]

Looks like there's no stainless/nickel version tho

[@JGray1968]

@@telesniper2 That's good news for me. Mine will stand out from the newer version. 😀

[@gunsquawk4443]

Throwing your gun boxes away is a bad idea. I work at a gunshop and when people sell their guns back to us, the box being included always gets you more money. Keep your boxes folks.

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

That presumes that we resell our guns. Plus, most boxes anymore are just cheap unassuming cardboard. I’m buying them as guns, not collectors cards.

[@michaelwhite8031]

I live in the UK. I am so envious. Love that gun in white grips.

[@brianalbee4153]

You blokes can still purchase cap and ball revolvers right? The Remington 1858 clones made by Uberti and Pietta are pretty reliable and formidable as percussion revolvers go

[@fideauone3416]

Very cool. Glad they didn't put a stupid safety on it. Good job. Can't wait for the fll review.

[@Zombi3Food]

Thanks for reviewing these. I love my older Taurus Gaucho with the 7.5" barrel and I'm happy that they decided to bring these back so I can finally find the other lengths easier. My older one had a bit of a soft base pin so hopefully they've fixed that on the newer ones.

[@stancassada2461]

Dustin, thank you so much for the review. That certainly looks like a gun I want to check. Thanks again and as always I'm looking forward to the next video.

[@dennistennyson8856]

I had my grandfather's 3rd gen Colt which was like this gun but it was not an Army Colt, it was a genuine 45 Colt revolver.

[@ralphperez4862]

The first thing I noticed was that it's shiny, unlike the cousins across the pond that are dull or color case hardened, or even nickel plated.

[@anangryranger]

Dustin, Thanks for the review on this weapon. It appears solid and well built. Though using the transfer bar action, I'm pleased to see that the cylinder rotation is a positive one, and not like those ridiculous Rugers! I'll be looking forward to the full review. Taurus has really stepped up their game over the past few years, and have been producing some remarkable weapons. 👍

[@waynehendrix4806]

These new Taurus singles are definitely on my radar. I liked the action on that particular model. Thanks.

[@Eltoroblancosass]

I took mine to a local competition today. It worked great for just out of the box.No problem on any stages. I posted a shorts here on KZbin. I have ordered a wolf spring kit for it, so I am excited to see how it does with some work to it. Thanks for the great videos.

[@brianminkc]

Wow, that is sweet. I really like Taurus revolvers too can't beat em for the price.

[@danielfilippini5606]

The gaucho has come back. It's the same gun different name. I have the 357 gaucho. Great reliable gun.

[@hey.hombre]

Didn't the Gaucho have the safety in the hammer?

[@danielfilippini5606]

@@hey.hombre it had the transfer bar system just like a ruger. I might add that 1st and 2nd generation colt springs will fit nicely when needed

[@owllymannstein7113]

My first thought when I started watching is video was wondering what the difference was between this and the Gaucho. That's one of those guns I saw a magazine review for when they came out, then never actually saw one in real life.

[@babayaga7434]

Gaucho had bad QC, modern Taurus is on a whole different level

[@telesniper2]

No nickel/stainless version. No 7.5" barrel. ☹

[@Me2Lancer]

Thanks for sharing. I'm impressed.

[@btj1969]

Looks just fine!!!

Thats cool i didnt even know this gun Existed. Cant wait to hear your thoughts on it.

[@billsummy2412]

WOW .... Great video Love the looks and the way she handles pard ..

[@hey.hombre]

A good combo is the Taurus Deputy with the Rossi 92. Both are made in Brazil and under the same ownership.

[@mikemuhlbach2951]

Taurus has deputy blued in USA.

[@scottdunn2178]

A 4 3/4" barrel version in .357 would be perfect... I've always liked those black grips.

[@irishinnj72]

They do have this gun in .357 as well, check their website.

[@jamesdeek7039]

Probably thebfirst taurus i will buy, that thing looks really nice.

[@alanhope1190]

Thanks, Pard!

[@hernandovillamarinbuenaven7476]

As a traditional Colt OEM SAA owner / collector I'd LOVE to see a version similar to my original Colt SAA Montana Double Commemorative, (1.964), with gorgeous case hardened frame, a couple original Golden accents. Mine very slick & accurate @ 100yds, not rested, with my own handloads. Even better if this Taurus provides safely carrying all six chambers loaded thanks to its transfer bar system. Thanks for a great review on this beautiful Taurus version and looking forward for an in- depth review.

[@FabianStrategy-76]

Just picked up this gun myself, in the exact same configuration! I'm looking forward to taking it out to the range soon. Without having shot it yet, I've been very pleased with it so far.

[@Andrew-sv6zq]

Nice looking revolver. I think wood grips would have been a better look for it.

[@GunsOfTheWest]

I’m excited to see if they will offer it with different grip options. Wood or faux ivory would look nice.

[@WhatIfBrigade]

​@@GunsOfTheWest Do any commonly available grips fit?

You one lucky boy... 😂😂. Yeah, Taurus never disappoints.. Have fun and stay safe. Greetings from Capetown down in South Africa... ❤😊

[@justmehere6094]

Seems like a nice firearm. I'll stick with my Ruger Blackhawk though. I actually prefer the changes on it from historical (best of both worlds to me).

[@britishtechguru]

Neat. I might get one of these in ,357 as a general defence gun. I particularly like the single action as it slows down firing. Hikok said people are too keen to shoot without aiming. This forces aiming.

[@initra25]

I have the Roughrider single action… awesome gun!!!!! Lots of fun.

[@johns3153]

Same company too some people don't know that taurus owns Heritage Manufacturing Inc. That has the rough rider series

The transferbar is great. If someone would have had the idea back in those days they will all wanted that. Just because you could carry 6 instead of 5.

Not to change subject... I just wanted to tell I bought your hand made black power lube a little while ago and it's GREAT!! Forgot to use it on first cylinder and almost couldn't remove the Cylinder!! Used it on my next three cylinders and things went smooth on all three! Thanks for a great product!

Nice

[@okbob8147]

Cool

[@smokum7]

That's actually pretty cool, néds wood grips tho.

[@AKAKiddo]

Fantastic to see Taurus making a single action 1873 style. And they kept the four hammer clicks AND a transfer bar safety. There are some smart designers working for Taurus. This will definitely be interesting to the cowboy action shooters, and those of us who just like the Colt 1873 style single actions.

[@dennisvaughn540]

Great Pistol!

[@mkshffr4936]

So excited.

Nice 😊

[@deerslayer303B]

Lets hope The Taurus Transfer Bar works better than Pietta's. Nice looking Single action though. A decent sent of grips and she would be GTG!

[@wbriggs111]

The transfer bar is in there in case you drop the gun on the a hard surface and the hammer is down on a live round.

[@ST-zm3lm]

I dry handled a couple at my LGS and I have to say that the actions are pure grit. I can’t say I expected anything special, but they really let me down.

I was hopin to see you fan that vad boy, but i wonder could it handle hot rounds like plys P or can it only handle the hot rounds?
