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, 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 in 1970 when Colt carried on with their Peacemaker 22 and a “New Frontier Scout”.
The Colt Buntline was a long-barreled variant of the Colt Single Action Army revolver, which Stuart N. Lake described in his best-selling but largely fictionalized 1931 biography, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshall. According to Lake, the dime novalist Ned Buntline commissioned the production of five Buntline Specials. Lake described them as extra-long Colt Single Action Army revolvers, with a 12-inch (300 mm)-long barrel, and stated that Buntline presented them to five lawmen in thanks for their help in contributing local color to his western yarns. Lake attributed the gun to Wyatt Earp, but modern researchers have not found any supporting evidence from secondary sources or in available primary documentation of the gun's existence prior to the publication of Lake's book. After its publication, various Colt revolvers with long (10-inch or 16-inch) barrels were called Colt Buntlines or Buntline Specials. Colt manufactured the pistol among its second-generation revolvers produced after 1956. A number of other manufacturers, such as Uberti, Navy Arms, and Cimarron Arms, have made their own versions of this long-barreled revolver.
