This Frontier Six Shooter is a Model P chambered in .44-40 Win., marked with a small "44" under the barrel and the top-of-barrel Hartford address. The fluted six-shot cylinder, side loading gate, and fixed sights (blade front, integral rear notch) keep the configuration true to form.
The revolver uses the cross-pin, spring-loaded base pin, a distinguishing feature of this submodel. The frame bears the three-line patent legend, and the barrel is rollmarked COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER.
Construction is all-steel, with a carbon steel barrel and cylinder. The color case-hardened frame contrasts with the blued cylinder and barrel, and the grips are black checkered hard-rubber with Rampant Colt medallions and an eagle motif.
Made in the USA, this example is from the late 3rd Generation era and corresponds to Colt part number P2950FSS. It is single-action only with a six-round capacity.
