Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1956, Colt brought back their Single Action Army from a 15-year hiatus. This second outing of the world’s most admired revolver was pretty expensive retailing for around $125. The 1940s and 1950s were filled with western movies and stories coming back to life and being imprinted into the American psyche. Fathers who yearned to be cowboys since their youth wanted to buy their sons an example to enjoy.
For one thing, Ruger released their Single-Six series of revolvers in 1953 and was taking advantage of a market the Colt had given up. The Colt Frontier Scout was born in 1957 and was scaled down slightly and was lighter than its bigger bore brother. The year 1960 brought 22 WMR models to the market. The first iteration of the Frontier Scout would go on to hit the manufactured mark of about 246,000 and eventually 358,000 total including its variations. The Colt Single Action Frontier Scout 22LR was made until 1970 when Colt carried on with their Peacemaker 22 and a “New Frontier Scout”.
The Q Series “Duotone” revolvers were introduced in November of 1957 (serial number 1000Q) and were characterized by "in-the-white" aluminum alloy receivers, grip frames, ejector rod heads and loading gates, and by serial numbers that ended with the letter "Q". The cylinders, ejector rod housings, base pins, screws, triggers and barrels were made of steel and blued. Q series revolvers were produced for only about five months with the last serial number being 16520Q which was recorded in March, 1958.
