*SOLD* 1985 Colt New Frontier.22 LR Blue 4 1/4" *GREAT COLT SINGLE-ACTION*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Colt New Frontier is a remarkable single-action revolver that first made its debut in 1961, with a design that would go on to define an era of revolver craftsmanship. Revived after a long hiatus since Colt ceased production of single-action revolvers during World War II to focus on military arms, the New Frontier was introduced with the intention of providing a high-end, target-sighted variant of the iconic Colt Single Action Army. Named after the slogan popularized by President John F. Kennedy, "New Frontier," this revolver was designed to represent the pinnacle of Colt's single-action revolvers. It became known as the "Cadillac" of handguns, much like the Colt Python was for double-action revolvers, and quickly gained a reputation for its flawless smooth action, beautiful finish, and exceptional shooting performance. The New Frontier was chambered in various calibers, including the .22 Magnum featured in this model, and was available in a range of barrel lengths, including the 4 ¼" barrel on this specific revolver.
 
This Colt New Frontier is chambered in .22 LR, providing excellent performance for target shooting and small game hunting with a manageable recoil. The 4 ¼" barrel, paired with the serrated ramp front sight and adjustable rear sight, offers a high-visibility aiming setup perfect for precision shooting. The revolver's black checkered synthetic grips, adorned with the Eagle and Rampant Colt logos, add both functionality and style, ensuring a secure and comfortable hold during use. The blue finish enhances the revolver's classic look, contributing to its timeless appeal. As a single-action revolver, the New Frontier is designed for those who appreciate the traditional cock-and-fire mechanism, offering a clean, crisp trigger pull that delivers outstanding accuracy with every shot. With its combination of rich history, superior design, and modern performance, the Colt New Frontier remains a highly coveted firearm for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
