Synopsis

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.

Review:

"Carrying the title Colt Scouts, Peacemakers and New Frontiers in .22 Caliber, this 224 page hardcover volume is the effort of Don Wilkerson, well-known in the Colt SAA field as a dedicated collector, historian and writer. Wilkerson has authored other books on post-war Colt SAA's-one for which I had the privilege of writing the introduction - and each has become a standard reference work. Once again the author's dedication to his subject comes through in this complete work.

This tome is printed on qualilty paper and contains a wealth of excellent photographs showing detailed views of guns and related items. In all, if you have any interest in .22 caliber Colt single action revolvers, this book is a must!" -- Guns and Ammo, Phil Spangenberger, July 1994
