Taylor/Uberti 1873 SA Ranch Hand Brass Back Strap & Triggerguard Checkered Walnut Grip 357 Magnum 4.75" Barrel
The Ranch Hand is built on the cattleman new model forged frame. It features all the best qualities of the cattleman design while boasting the flashy brass backstrap & triggerguard. Not only is the Ranch Hand a beautifully craft revolver, but also more economical. Besides the brass grip frame, the Ranch hand features a case hardened frame with the remaining blued steel parts, and a smaller Navy-size walnut grip. Maintenance for the steel portion of this revolver follows standard gun care and the brass parts can easily be kept polished looking with a metal cleaner like Flitz.

The 357 Magnum was introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1935 and initially chambered in their heavy-frame double-action revolver, the 357 was the first "magnum" handgun. Based on the 38 Special case lengthened to 1.29 inches, it was the world's most powerful handgun cartridge until the 44 Magnum. Offering considerably more power and penetration than the 38 Special, it was standard among many law enforcement agencies for decades. It is still widely manufactured in double- and single-action revolvers (and some rifles), available from virtually all revolver manufacturers; and all manufacturers of handgun ammunition offer a variety of 357 Magnum loads. It is a common choice for personal defense, and 357 revolvers have the advantage of handling less expensive and lighter-recoiling 38 Special loads for practice. As a hunting cartridge the 357 Magnum is probably the lightest cartridge that should be considered for deer-sized game. — Craig Boddington
