I picked up my first revolver today! It's a Colt Frontier Scout (.22LR). It's an Appomattox Commemorative 1865-1965. Here it is:
I picked it up used. It looks as though it's been a shooter rather than a collector piece as it's got some character. That's fine as that is the role I intend it to serve. I was saving up for a Ruger Single Six (KNR-5) but saw this and fell in love. I put a box of CCI Standard Velocity thru it today and it shoots great. I couldn't be happier with my cool new (old) Colt.
I must admit that I'm starting to have a bit of a self-control problem with regard to purchasing handguns. I shot my first real one (non-BB) a bit over a year ago and this is the third one I've purchased since. I never would have imagined I like shooting handguns as much as I do. Now I want more!!
Next on the revolver list is at least a Ruger Bisley Vaquero in 45 Colt and a Colt Python. Maybe some other cool old Colts (probably post-lottery ) and certainly a few more of these Frontier Scout Commemoratives. Does anyone here on THR collect these little Colts?
