Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Frontier Scout, first introduced in 1957, was a scaled-down version of the iconic Colt Peacemaker, designed to offer a more compact and lighter revolver while still delivering the same classic single-action revolver experience. Chambered in either .22 LR or .22 Magnum, the Frontier Scout became a popular choice for both target shooters and collectors. Its 4.75” barrel, paired with a notch rear sight and a blade front sight, made it an accurate and fun plinking firearm. The revolver’s lightweight aluminum alloy frame, coupled with either black plastic or walnut checkered grips, ensured both durability and comfort in hand. As part of Colt’s ongoing innovation, the Frontier Scout went through various production variations from 1957 to 1970, with changes in finishes and grip styles, reflecting the growing demand for customizable firearms in the mid-20th century.

One of the most sought-after versions of the Frontier Scout is the Shawnee Trail model, which commemorates the historic Shawnee Trail, a major cattle-driving route used in the 19th century to transport longhorn cattle from Texas to markets in the Midwest. Only 500 of these Shawnee Trail revolvers were ever produced, each with serial numbers ranging from 1ST to 500ST, making them a rare and collectible piece in the Colt lineage. This special edition features intricate engravings that highlight the significance of the trail, including depictions of cattle and wagon wheels. The Shawnee Trail model combines the classic Colt Frontier Scout design with a tribute to one of the most important cattle-driving routes in American history. Its finely crafted construction and limited production make it an exclusive addition to any Colt or western Americana collection, celebrating both Colt’s legacy and the pioneering spirit of the American West.
