There’s nothing like romanticizing the old Spaghetti Westerns and reliving the adventures portrayed by your favorite heroes—legends like Steve McQueen, John Wayne, and Clint Eastwood. These icons helped define the Western genre. Thanks to their films and television shows, we saw a spike in demand for Western-style firearms—modern reproductions of originals.
And that desire hasn’t really faded. Today, numerous companies offer these classics as reproductions. One of them is Taurus, which is debuting a new version of the Deputy—the Deputy Dual Cylinder.

FEATURES
The Taurus Deputy Dual Cylinder brings Old West styling into a more versatile, modern package with a feature set built around flexibility and tradition. Chambered in .357 Magnum, the revolver ships with an additional 9mm cylinder, both holding six rounds, and its interchangeable cylinder system effectively allows shooters to run .357 Magnum, .38 Special, or 9mm from the same platform.
The 5.5-inch barrel keeps handling balanced and true to its heritage, while details like the half-moon front sight and high-gloss polished finish lean into its period-correct aesthetic. Despite the classic look, functionality remains current, with a transfer bar safety system enabling safe six-round carry.
The single-action operation retains the familiar 4-click hammer feel enthusiasts expect, complemented by durable polymer grips featuring the Taurus bullhead logo.
ZOOMING OUT
Altogether, the Deputy Dual Cylinder blends timeless design with practical caliber adaptability in a straightforward, shootable package. Really, it lets you play out your dreams of being a cowboy.
