Overview

The Colt New Frontier is the adjustable-sight variant of the Single Action Army, introduced in 1961 as a target-oriented evolution of Colt’s classic single-action platform. Featuring the distinctive flat-top frame and fully adjustable rear sight, the New Frontier combines traditional Colt handling with enhanced precision capability.

This example is chambered in .44 Special, one of the more desirable New Frontier chamberings among collectors and shooters alike.

It remains in excellent condition and includes its factory box, Colt paperwork, original factory grips, and upgraded high-grade walnut grips installed by Nutmeg Sports. The revolver has also received action work by Nutmeg Sports, improving smoothness and trigger feel while preserving the integrity of the factory mechanism.

Based on Colt’s 3rd Generation New Frontier serial number progression (NF suffix beginning at 01001NF in 1978), serial 11720NF places this revolver in approximately 1980 production, though a Colt Archive Letter would provide definitive shipment confirmation.
