I had a Colt New Frontier .22lr with the 7.5" barrel with beautiful case hardening that was out-shooting any other .22lr. hand gun I had including a bull barreled Single shot Thompson contender with an adjusted super light trigger pull. It outshot S&W Model 41, Ruger Target Competition bull barrel shooters, and many other target autos.
Foolishly I traded it in for something in a bigger caliber....big mistake. I've looked and looked for a replacement and the only ones so far had been used and abused and start at $800 and on up.
I ended up getting a Ruger New Model Single Six stainless in 6.5" barrel that shoots within a whisper of the Colt. Shoots almost as good as the Colt but doesn't look and feel like the Colt. I resigned myself to the Ruger and am semi happy with the best to date substitute for the Colt.
