Colt New Frontier .357 Magnum Revolver
This Colt New Frontier chambered in .357 Magnum represents one of the finest collectible single-action revolvers produced by Colt during the Second Generation era. Featuring the desirable 7.5-inch barrel, brilliant nickel finish, adjustable target sights and accompanied by its original Colt box and factory paperwork, this revolver remains in unfired condition, making it an exceptional opportunity for the advanced Colt collector.
The Colt New Frontier combined the timeless Single Action Army design with fully adjustable target sights, creating one of Colt’s most refined sporting revolvers. Today these revolvers are increasingly sought after by collectors due to their quality, limited production and historical significance within Colt’s legendary revolver lineup.
Historical Significance
Introduced in the early 1960s, the Colt New Frontier was designed as the premium target version of the legendary Single Action Army. Unlike the traditional fixed-sight Peacemaker, the New Frontier featured an adjustable rear sight and ramp front sight, providing superior precision while preserving the classic Colt profile.
This example is believed to date from the early 1960s based on its serial number prefix and remains an outstanding representation of Colt’s craftsmanship during the Second Generation production era. Combined with its unfired condition, original factory packaging and paperwork, it represents a highly desirable collector firearm.
