Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Buntline Special is one of the most distinctive and storied variations of the legendary Colt Single Action Army revolver, blending the mechanical excellence of the Peacemaker with a strikingly elongated barrel designed for enhanced accuracy and dramatic presentation. Traditionally featuring a barrel length of 10 to 12 inches, the Buntline Special was inspired by accounts that Western author Ned Buntline commissioned a number of long-barreled Colts as gifts for notable frontier lawmen. While historical debate surrounds the origins of those early examples, the revolver itself became an enduring symbol of precision, reach, and showmanship in the American West. Mechanically identical to the standard Single Action Army, it retained Colt’s renowned single-action mechanism, six-shot cylinder, and solid-frame design, offering exceptional balance despite its extended barrel. Its length not only provided a longer sight radius but also added an unmistakable silhouette that quickly became iconic in Western lore and later in popular culture. Beyond its mechanical and aesthetic appeal, the Colt Buntline Special represents the seamless blending of myth and craftsmanship that defines Colt’s legacy. Introduced in various production runs throughout the 20th century, including commemorative and limited-edition models, it maintained the same attention to detail and quality finish for which Colt is renowned. Offered in classic chamberings such as .45 Colt and often adorned with blued or nickel finishes paired with walnut or hard-rubber grips, each example reflects Colt’s dedication to both form and function. The Buntline Special’s long-barreled design made it a favorite among collectors, marksmen, and enthusiasts of Western history alike, standing as a powerful tribute to the spirit of the frontier and the enduring artistry of Colt’s single-action revolvers.
