Taylors and Co Howdah Features The Taylors and Co Howdah uses a side-by-side barrel design chambered for both .45 Colt and .410 GA giving the shooter the option of a heavy revolver round or a shot load from the same platform. A 1-in-35 inch rate of twist stabilizes the octagonal 10.25 inch barrels while the break action operation allows quick loading and unloading of both chambers for range use or field carry. The color case hardened receiver contrasts with the charcoal blue finish on the barrels giving the Howdah a distinctive two-tone appearance rooted in nineteenth century gunmaking traditions. This dual caliber design makes the Howdah a versatile companion for collectors and shooters who appreciate historically styled defensive handguns. Checkered walnut grips wrap the steel frame for a secure and traditional feel in the hand complementing the fixed bead front sight and flip up rear sight for straightforward target acquisition. At 4.19 pounds unloaded the Howdah carries enough heft to manage recoil from either chambering while remaining a manageable size for holster or range bag carry. The steel frame construction and octagonal barrel profile add durability and visual character that set this pistol apart from modern polymer framed handguns. Whether carried for personal protection used at the range or added to a collection the Taylors and Co Howdah offers a rare blend of function and old world craftsmanship.
