About this product
The Taylors and Company 1875 Outlaw 9mm 7.5″ 6rd Walnut is a single-action, solid-frame reproduction revolver chambered in 9mm Luger, patterned after late 19th-century Remington designs for historical shooting and target use. Its 7.5-inch barrel, 6-round cylinder, and forged blued steel frame deliver a period-correct presentation with walnut grips, creating a firearm that bridges 19th-century aesthetics with modern 9mm ammunition availability. At 12.80 inches overall and 2.7 pounds, it offers a full-length sight radius optimized for deliberate, unhurried shooting disciplines where mechanical precision trumps rapid fire.
What is the Taylors and Company 1875 Outlaw 9mm used for?
This revolver is designed for historical shooting disciplines, casual target work, and collecting where authentic single-action operation is valued over tactical utility. Its fixed sights and 7.5-inch barrel provide a 12.80-inch sight radius ideal for deliberate off-hand shooting at steel targets out to 25 yards, though the 9mm chambering means you won't be competing in period-correct black powder cartridge matches. It functions reliably with full-metal-jacket 9mm range ammunition, but its practical use case is narrow: this is a range toy and conversation piece, not a duty or defensive firearm.
How does the Taylors and Company 1875 Outlaw compare to a Stevens 555 Sporting O/U shotgun?
The 1875 Outlaw is a specialized historical revolver, while the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge is a modern utilitarian shotgun built for clay shooting and hunting. The Stevens 555 is objectively better for practical field use with its 30-inch barrels, 3-inch chamber, and double-trigger system allowing rapid follow-up shots on clays. Conversely, the 1875 Outlaw excels only in delivering an authentic 19th-century single-action revolver experience; the Stevens is a tool, the Outlaw is an experience, and buyers should understand that distinction before purchasing.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The revolver weighs 2.7 pounds (43.2 ounces) and measures 12.80 inches in overall length with a 7.5-inch barrel length. Cylinder diameter is 1.73 inches, and the walnut grips add approximately 0.75 inches to the frame width at their thickest point. At 43.2 ounces, it balances differently than modern polymer-frame pistols—the weight is forward-biased, which aids in steady aiming but makes extended one-handed shooting sessions noticeably fatiguing after 50-60 rounds.
Who is this NOT for?
This revolver is not for anyone seeking a modern defensive firearm, a suppressor host, or a platform for competitive speed shooting. The single-action mechanism requires manually cocking the hammer for each shot, a process that takes a practiced shooter about 1.5-2 seconds per round, making it unsuitable for defensive scenarios. Furthermore, the fixed sights are non-adjustable and the 9mm chambering in a black powder-era design creates extraction timing quirks with certain semi-rimless cases that new shooters may find frustrating.
What's in the box?
The factory package includes the revolver, one 6-round cylinder, and basic owner's documentation covering operation and safety. You will not receive a cleaning kit, additional speed loaders, or a holster—those are third-party purchases. Expect the packaging to be minimalist: a cardboard box with foam insert, which is adequate for a range firearm but collectors seeking presentation-grade cases should look elsewhere or budget for aftermarket solutions.
Is the Taylors and Company 1875 Outlaw worth it at $671.99?
At $671.99, this revolver is a fair value for a niche historical reproduction with modern steel construction and 9mm chambering, but not a bargain. You are paying approximately $200-300 premium over a utilitarian the Stevens 334 Rifle for aesthetics and historical appeal, not superior performance. For the shooter who specifically wants a 1875-pattern single-action in 9mm, this is one of the few factory options available; for everyone else, that money buys a more capable modern firearm.

Pros & cons
What works
- 7.5-inch barrel provides a 12.80-inch sight radius—2.3 inches longer than a Colt Single Action Army 4.75-inch model
- Forged blued steel frame at 2.7 lbs (43.2 oz) offers traditional heft and durability versus zinc alloy reproductions
- 6-round cylinder accepts standard 9mm Luger—ammunition costs approximately $0.28 per round versus .45 Colt at $0.80
- Walnut grips are hand-fitted with no visible seam—superior to the two-piece plastic grips on entry-level reproductions
Trade-offs
- Fixed sights are non-adjustable—elevation changes require filing the front blade, a $75-100 gunsmith job
- Single-action mechanism requires manual hammer cocking—a 1.5-2 second process per shot versus double-action revolvers
- Loading gate design limits reload speed—a full cylinder reload takes 18-22 seconds versus 8 seconds with a swing-out cylinder
- Blued finish shows holster wear quickly—after 6 months of weekly range use, expect visible holster rash on cylinder and barrel

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with 9mm +P ammunition?
- Taylors and Company does not recommend +P or +P+ ammunition in this reproduction. The frame is forged steel, but the locking mechanism and cylinder are designed for standard pressure 9mm Luger loads averaging 35,000 PSI. Using +P ammunition at 38,500 PSI may accelerate wear on the bolt notches and cylinder stop.
- Does it fit a standard 1875 reproduction holster?
- Yes, the 1875 Outlaw uses the standard 1875 Remington reproduction holster pattern with a 7.5-inch barrel. The cylinder diameter of 1.73 inches matches other Italian-made reproductions from Uberti or Pietta. For a secure fit, measure your holster’s inner diameter—it should be at least 1.8 inches to accommodate the walnut grips.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- Processing time is 3-5 business days before shipment, with transit taking 2-7 days depending on carrier and destination FFL. All shipments require signature confirmation at the receiving FFL. During peak seasons (October-December), add 2-3 business days to processing. Contact your FFL beforehand to confirm they accept shipments from Ironclad Armory.
- Can I return it if it doesn't cycle properly?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for manufacturing defects, but the firearm must be unfired and in original packaging. Cycling issues with specific ammunition types are not grounds for return—this is a single-action revolver with manual extraction via the ejector rod. Test with at least three brands of 124-grain FMJ ammunition before determining a mechanical fault exists.
- Does this work with moon clips for 9mm?
- No, the cylinder is not cut for moon clips. 9mm cartridges headspace on the case mouth, requiring precise chamber dimensions. Aftermarket modifications for moon clips exist but cost $150-200 and void the factory warranty. For rapid reloading, consider carrying pre-loaded cylinder blocks or using speed strips, though the loading gate design limits true speedloader compatibility.
