Nine Millimeter Single Actions: Taylor & Company TC9s Bring the Fun (and Savings)

Let's be honest, how often do you actually shoot your .357 Magnum? For many of us, those beautiful Colt Single Action Army-style revolvers end up as safe queens, gathering dust instead of ringing steel. The cost of .357 Magnum and .357 Magnums alone can be enough to deter even the most enthusiastic shooter. Enter Taylor & Company’s TC9s – a clever reimagining of the classic SAA, chambered in 9mm Luger. It's a caliber you almost certainly already have a stockpile of.

Nutnfancy's latest video review dives into these intriguing reproductions, and it’s a worthwhile watch for anyone who appreciates a bit of historical firearm design with a modern, practical twist.

More Than Just Novelty

These aren’t just curiosities; they’re genuinely enjoyable to shoot. As Nutnfancy points out, the 9mm chambering dramatically reduces the cost per round, making it far more appealing to burn through a few hundred rounds at the range. While he acknowledges that handloading is a tempting option for serious shooters, the reality is most of us don't have the time. Buying ammo is just easier.

Design & Availability

Taylor & Company produces these in batches, and availability can be spotty. Nutnfancy recommends hitting up Gunnies, a “great American gun store,” if you’re looking to snag one. He even gives you Rex’s name, so you can go bother him in the back room – apparently, a little flattery goes a long way. The website itself isn't the most user-friendly, lacking detailed specifications and model information. But that's often the case with smaller manufacturers doing interesting things.

Shooting Impressions & Quirks

Nutnfancy reviewed two variations: the nickel flat top bird's head (skew #2011, a “Doc Holiday Special”) and the #2000108. Both are surprisingly accurate and a blast to shoot. He does note one minor quirk – the ejection rod could use a bit of polishing. It's a small detail, but it speaks to the level of refinement you can expect from a reproduction piece.

Philosophy of Use

Nutnfancy hits on a key point: these TC9s capture the *feel* of a classic Colt SAA, even if they aren’t exact historical replicas. They offer a way to experience the charm and tradition of the 1873 SAA without the premium price tag and the expensive ammunition. It’s a philosophy of enjoying the shooting process, not just chasing precision or collecting rare firearms.

If you're looking for a fun, affordable, and surprisingly accurate single-action revolver, the Taylor & Company TC9 deserves a look. Just be prepared to do a little digging to find one.
