Taurus Gaucho M45SA .45 Colt Revolver – 4.75" Case-Colored/Blue
The Gaucho was Taurus’s short-run tribute to the first-generation Colt Single Action Army, built with modern metallurgy and safety upgrades yet faithful to the iconic lines, four-click hammer, and flat-top groove sights that defined the frontier six-gun. Chambered in the classic .45 Colt and wearing a handsome case-colored frame with deep-blued steel barrel and cylinder, this full-size revolver blends 19th-century style with 21st-century practicality—making it equally attractive to SASS competitors, cowboy-action enthusiasts, and wheel-gun collectors.
Condition
• Overall: Very good—only light, superficial evidence of prior handling or range time.
• Metal: Uniform blue and faux-case finishes with a few faint handling marks, no rust or pitting.
• Bore: Excellent—mirror-bright with sharp lands and grooves.
• Timing & lockup: Positive; the traditional four-click hammer cycles smoothly and the cylinder locks up tight.
• Grips: Factory black checkered polymer panels are clean and unmarred.
What’s Included
• Original Taurus cardboard box with matching label
• Taurus Gaucho owner’s manual
• Factory black checkered grip panels (installed)
• Ajax Custom Grips “Ivory-Lite” yellow polymer set (sealed)
• Ajax Custom Grips laminated hardwood set (sealed)
This particular Gaucho stands out for the extras that accompany it: two unopened Ajax Custom Grips sets let you tailor the revolver’s look and feel—from period-correct faux-ivory to richly striped hardwood—without touching the original panels. Inside, a frame-mounted firing pin rides behind a transfer-bar ignition system, so the gun can be safely carried with all six chambers loaded. Taurus’s keyed Security System adds an optional internal hammer-block lock for secure storage. The 4¾" steel barrel retains the quick‐drawing balance of the 1873 pattern while the fluted six-shot cylinder and transverse base-pin latch keep the profile authentically slim.
Produced only from 2006 through 2009, the Gaucho was Taurus’s sole true Colt-pattern single action. Its discontinuation—and the limited parts pipeline that followed—has already earned the model a place on many collectors’ short lists. Whether you plan to spin it at the SASS line, display it next to first-generation originals, or simply enjoy a classic six-gun at the range, this clean, mechanically sound example delivers the look, feel, and smoke of the Old West with the confidence of modern steel.
Own a piece of Taurus history and a faithful homage to the quintessential American revolver—all ready to ride in your holster or case.
