Our Assessment: The Colt New Frontier Kit Carson Commemorative Revolver is a special edition, single-action revolver produced by Colt to honor the legendary American frontiersman and scout Christopher “Kit” Carson. This commemorative revolver is based on the Colt New Frontier Buntline, a long-barreled variant of the famous Single Action Army (SAA) revolver, known for its association with Old West lawmen and outlaws.
These Kit Carson Commemorative revolvers were released in limited numbers, making them highly desirable among Colt collectors and Western firearm enthusiasts. They were often sold with a presentation case, sometimes accompanied by historical information about Kit Carson’s life and exploits. While fully functional, many examples remain in pristine condition, having been kept as display pieces rather than used for regular shooting. Today, the Colt New Frontier Buntline Kit Carson Commemorative is a prized collectible, embodying both the spirit of the Old West and Colt’s legacy of fine firearm craftsmanship.
