Colt 3rd Generation New Frontier Buntline Special – .45 Colt, Long Barrel USED

This is a Colt 3rd Generation New Frontier Buntline Special chambered in .45 Colt, featuring the unmistakable extra-long Buntline barrel that defines this iconic configuration. Built during Colt’s 3rd Generation Single Action Army era, the New Frontier series blends classic Old West styling with modern-era Colt manufacturing.

Unlike standard Single Action Army models, the New Frontier line is distinguished by its adjustable rear sight, offering improved shootability while retaining the traditional single-action profile. The extended barrel delivers a dramatic sight radius and unmistakable balance, making this revolver as visually impressive as it is historically interesting.

This example, serial SA46012, appears in very solid condition with correct Colt grips and finish consistent with the New Frontier series. These Buntline Specials appeal strongly to Colt collectors, Western-themed collections, and enthusiasts looking for a long-barrel Colt that stands apart from standard SAA variants.
