Overview: The Taurus Deputy is a modern homage to the classic Colt Single Action Army revolver, combining the traditional design with enhanced safety features. Its legacy dates back to the U.S. Army’s adoption of the Colt Single Action Army in 1873, which became popular among soldiers, civilians, and lawmen alike. Today, the Taurus Deputy preserves the iconic design with modern refinements, such as a transfer bar safety, making it safer to carry fully loaded.
