Embrace an iconic piece of firearm history with this Colt New Frontier Convertible, a revolver that beautifully marries history, aesthetics, performance, and adaptability. Manufactured by Colt, an American firearms company held in high regard since 1836, this firearm is a testament to the company's dedication to innovative weapon crafting. The New Frontier model from which this revolver is derived is an evolution of Colt's single-action Army Model - often dubbed "The most popular handgun in history".
What sets this Convertible submodel apart is its versatility. With the capability to fire both .22 Magnum and Long Rifle (.22 Mag/LR) rounds, it offers a broad range of performance abilities. This dual-caliber functionality makes it a unique and adaptable addition to any gun collection. Made in the United States in 1975, it hails from the Cold War era, a period known for numerous advancements in firearms technology.
The revolver is in good condition, having been well-cared for over the years. Some minor finish wear on the barrel and cylinder, indicative of holster use, does not detract from its overall appeal. The bore condition is good, with clean, well-defined lands and grooves. The blued/case hardened steel finish underscores the craftsmanship and durability of this firearm, while the Colt checkered black synthetic grips provide a comfortable and firm hold.
This is a Single Action Only (SAO) model, meaning the trigger only performs the single action of releasing the hammer or striker to fire the weapon, offering a nostalgic shooting experience reminiscent of the wild-west. A 6-round capacity is emblematic of traditional revolvers, ensuring a seamless round of target practice or small game hunting. The front ramp and adjustable notched rear sight aid in precise targeting. Included in the sale is a .22 LR cylinder.
With its rich history, dual-caliber versatility, and the trusted Colt name, this New Frontier Convertible is an invaluable piece for any firearms aficionado. Its unique blend of features makes it not just a gun, but a treasured possession that speaks volumes about the owner's appreciation for quality, history, and performance.
