Additional information: The Colt Buntline Scout is a variant of the Colt Single Action Army (SAA) revolver, which was first introduced in the late 19th century and became iconic in the American West. The \"Buntline\" model, in particular, was made famous by the myth that it was a special order of long-barrel versions of the SAA, supposedly commissioned by author Ned Buntline for legendary figures like Wyatt Earp and Buffalo Bill Cody. While the historical basis of these special orders is somewhat murky, the Colt Buntline Scout is a real revolver produced by Colt in the 1950s and 1960s and continues to be associated with the \"Buntline\" myth. The Buntline Scout is a variant of the Colt Single Action Army but with a longer barrel, often associated with the \"long-barrel\" version of the SAA revolver. Key Specifications of the Colt Buntline Scout: Model: Colt Buntline Scout Type: Single Action Revolver Caliber: .22 LR (most common) or .22 WMR (magnum version) Barrel Length: 7.5 inches (common for the Buntline variant) Overall Length: Approximately 12 inches Weight: 2.3 lbs (approx. 1.04 kg) Capacity: 6-round, single-action cylinder Action: Single-action (manual cocking required to fire) Frame: Blued steel or nickel-plated finish Grips: Hard rubber or walnut wood grips (varies by specific model) Sights: Fixed front sight, rear notch sight (can vary based on manufacturer or variant) Finish Options: Blue or nickel-plated Trigger Pull: Varies by individual gun but typically around 4-6 pounds of pressure Features: Long Barrel: The Buntline Scout features a longer barrel (7.5 inches) compared to the standard 5.5-inch barrel of the Colt SAA, which was marketed as providing better accuracy and a more dramatic \"Old West\" aesthetic. Revolver Design: It retains the classic design elements of the Colt SAA, including the steel frame, single-action mechanism, and distinctive hammer, which must be manually cocked before firing. Target Shooting: The longer barrel and relatively light recoil make the Colt Buntline Scout a popular choice for target shooting and collectors, especially in its .22 LR version. Historical Influence: The Colt Buntline Scout is often seen as a tribute to the mythology surrounding the American Old West and its legendary gunfighters. Performance: The Colt Buntline Scout in .22 LR is known for its smooth, accurate shooting performance, especially when used for target practice.
