Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army Frontier Scout represents a significant chapter in the legacy of Colt revolvers, re-emerging in 1956 after a 15-year hiatus. This second generation of the renowned Single Action Army was introduced during a time when Western films and stories were captivating the American public, rekindling a fascination with the cowboy era. The Frontier Scout appealed to fathers who wished to share a piece of that mythic legacy with their sons, providing a tangible connection to their childhood dreams of becoming cowboys. The Colt Frontier Scout, chambered in .22 Long Rifle, offered a more manageable and accessible option compared to its larger caliber counterparts, ensuring that the spirit of the Wild West could be enjoyed by a new generation. Introduced in 1957, the Frontier Scout was a scaled-down version of the iconic Colt revolver, lighter and easier to handle, making it particularly popular among younger shooters and enthusiasts. This model featured a 4 ¾" barrel, blue finish, and a classic single-action mechanism, maintaining the traditional aesthetics that Colt fans cherished. The blade front sight paired with a frame notch rear sight facilitated accurate shooting, while the black checkered synthetic grips adorned with the Rampant Colt logo provided both comfort and style.

The introduction of .22 WMR models in 1960 expanded its versatility further. The Frontier Scout achieved impressive production numbers, with approximately 246,000 units manufactured before its discontinuation in 1970, eventually reaching around 358,000 including its variations. Following its production, Colt shifted focus to the Peacemaker 22 and a "New Frontier Scout," but the legacy of the Frontier Scout continues to resonate with collectors and shooting enthusiasts, reflecting both Colt's storied history and the enduring allure of the American West.
