New from GunBroker......
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. Bob Wright |

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.
 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". Bob Wright |

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.
