Despite his lack of experience with the breed, the author found the single-action Texican to be an accurate, natural-handling revolver. The completely U.S. made Texican contains no cast parts and was built through ultra high speed machining, which eliminates the need for grinding or polishing for final fit.

Even though I was not properly attired, my friends allowed that it would be all right if I ran some drills with them.

As I said above, I have had little experience with single-action revolvers, but the Texican pointed so naturally and proved so accurate that I was soon racking up an impressive ratio of "clangs" to "bangs."

I found recoil control, especially with sedate Cowboy Action loads, excellent, although I agreed with Mark that a set of thicker grip panels wouldn't be a bad idea.

As I have with its semiauto pistols, I found STI's Texican single-action revolver to be everything the company claims--and then some. If you're a Cowboy Action shooter looking for a top of the line revolver-- ready to run right out of the box--the Texican deserves a place at the top of your list of choices. Now, I wonder where I can get a 10-gallon hat and chaps?
