Here is the complete story, in reference form, of one of Colt's most innovative revolvers - the Frontier Scout and its subsequent variations. Over 570,000 single action .22 caliber revolvers were produced from 1957 to 1986 as a companion to their famous Model P revolver. This book takes the reader on a guided tour of the 48 major variations. In addition, numerous sub-variations are identified and discussed in detail. Many of these variations are quite rare and will challenge collectors. Complete production figures are presented for all models.
Colt company records, coupled with a detailed survey, provide the basis for this in-depth study. Excellent black and white photography support and compliment the text.
