I love the Colt New Frontier, I love SAA's, and when you add real sights, well they are just a joy. The Second Gen New Frontiers are quite rare, with only ~4200 total produced from 1961-1975. Serialization started at 3000NF, this one being #4531NF. Only 520 5.5" 45's were produced.

My personal Second Gen NF is a 44x5.5", and is a superb performer. In my opinion, the 5.5" barrel is the ideal Colt SAA, good reason for having 3 of them I guess 😂

From Taffin,

"In 1962, a Colt Single Action Army cost a relatively expensive $125, while the New Frontier, was even higher at an unreachable, for me, $140. This at the same time that .357 and .44 Magnum Ruger Blackhawks were going for less than $100 and the superbly crafted and blued Super Blackhawk in .44 Magnum was selling for $116. Our local store had a New Frontier .44 Special that I drooled over quite often but with college tuition, three hungry kids, and a wife who stayed home with them, there was no way. Had I been able to look into the future, I would somehow have borrowed the money and bought the Colt. Today it would be worth no less than ten times the original price. I keep reminding myself, always remember, Colt Single Actions rarely ever go down in value.
The Colt New Frontier began with serial number 3000NF, which stayed in the Colt plant. The last of the 2nd Generation New Frontiers was in the 72XXNF serial number range, which gives us a total of slightly over 4,000 New Frontiers from 1961 to 1974. Four calibers were made in this first run of these Colt Flat-Top Target sixguns, .45 Colt, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .44 Special. "

Rare gun, great gun to shoot and enjoy, action is super crisp, tight and right, bore and chambers bright and clean, very little wear, wears Colt Black rubber grips not original to this gun.
