Last Tuesday, June 24th, I was advised I had the winning bid on this, and it arrived last Saturday, too late to take to the range:



Specs: .45 Colt, 7 1/2" barrel, Colt New Frontier.

To put it mildly, I am pleased.

Good looking addition you got there, I will admit I'm more of a 4 5/8-5 1/2 barrel guy, but I would not kick it out of bed for eating crackers either.:D I like the color case look.

I got this New Frontier at a bargain price, so I had enough money to cut the barrel back, which I'm thinking to 4 3/4".

Cut it back!

Work your magic and get a half moon front sight on it tall enough for the rear oh man that would look sharp... sign me up for one.

I'm not too much of a fan of the half moon front sight. To be tall enough for the rear sight makes it too easily bent. Prefer the longer sight radius of the quick-draw style on a ramp.

Nice... But only cut it back to 5 1/2" ;) . That way it is still a 'short' gun, but still has a bit longer sight radius ... and of course it looks right :) . Save the shorty for a fixed sighted revolver for those lightning quick draws... :) . Anyway good buy. Let us know how it shoots.

Curse your logic! I to like the ramp front but I am a sucker for the old fixed sight style... :D I can't wait to see how it turns out!
