COLT BISLEY “Frontier Six Shooter” .44 WCF SINGLE ACTION ARMY Revolver C&R
Description: COLT BISLEY “Frontier Six Shooter” .44 WCF SINGLE ACTION ARMY Revolver C&R SAA in SCARCE .44-40 Caliber Manufactured in 1903 Here we present a C&R Colt Bisley Model Frontier Six Shooter Single Action Army Revolver, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1903. This Bisley revolver is in the desirable .44-40 WCF chambered Frontier Six Shooter variant. Only 6,803 Bisley revolvers were produced in this caliber compared to 13,291 in .32-20. The top of the barrel has the one-line address, and the left side has “(BISLEY MODEL)/ COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER” in two lines. The standard two-line, three-date patent information is on the left side of the frame followed by the Rampant Colt emblem. The checkered hard rubber grips also have the Rampant Colt emblem. Though Colt enjoyed the largest contracts of any handgun maker during the American Civil War, it had to rely on its array of percussion fired revolvers, namely the 1860 Army until the Smith & Wesson owned Rollin White Patent expired in 1869. This enabled them to begin making revolvers with completely bored through cylinder chambers in order to utilize modern metallic cartridge ammunition in the most effective manner. In 1869, Colt’s began development of a suitable cartridge revolver in earnest, first coming out with a number of conversions for their percussion lines, until 1872 when they debuted what was to become the Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army in the 1872 U.S. Trials. Needless to say, it won, and became the Army’s revolver of choice. It also became the sidearm of choice for many others like cowboys, guards, lawmen, crooks, shopkeepers and all manner of civilians. The overall condition is fine. Very nice nickel refinish. The action has all four clicks, holds all three positions, cylinder indexes well and locks up strong. The bore is bright with strong rifling.
