Colt Frontier Scout
- I came by this one (that Greg Sambrano talks about) at the passing of my in-laws, and it was promised to my son at his birth. Now, at 37, he receives his promise. Thank you for all the info. I didn't realize how important this information (history) was to our son. T.P. Sambrano, Clovis, NM

My Peace Maker Piece
- I was recently given my Grandfather's Frontier Scout '62. I had seen and fired it plenty with my Dad growing up - and yes, she is loud. I have always had a fondness for the gun, I suppose that's because it was my Grandfather's. Plus, it has the "Old Western" look and feel to it. The paint on the frame is chipped and it has a couple of small scars. It came with both cylinders and they both work well. Two things stand out to me about this gun: First, I'm impressed with how smooth the action and response is, and Secondly, my grips are the same as the installed grips on your gun (not the fake antler ones). Thank you for sharing your piece of Americana with me.

colt frontier scout '62 22
- I have a Buntline Scout in 22 mag only. 9 1/2 in barrel and it is a kick to shoot. It's also very accurate and like yours it's LOUD.

- I bought mine new when I was in college at Oklahoma A & M in the 50's. Used it lovingly even though my friends had Rugers. In 1961 I was unemployed, and it (along with a Police Positive) had to go to the pawn shop. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to retrieve them before they were sold.

Just got one!
- I just picked one up at a local gun show. Knowingly overpaying for it, I was excited to get my mitts on something like I had when I was a kid. I have not been to the range yet, but from what I know, these are dandy little shooters. Mine was built in 1963, based on the serial number, and has seen quite a bit of use. This is noted especially on the frame, which has an inexpensive finish on it that wears off easily. Somehow, on a 46 year old single action, I am little bothered by it, and the wear just adds character to an otherwise great design. I was so excited to get this gun, that I just ordered its younger brother, the Peacemaker 22, with a more durable color case hardened finish, from an internet site. These will both make it to the range next week. Both are Colts, and will be cherished for many years to come.
