The Colt Frontier or Frontier Six-Shooter was a Colt's
1873 "Model P" type revolver, manufactured in .44-40 Winchester caliber instead
of .45 Colt (in which configuration it was called the Single Action Army), so as
to be cross-compatible with Winchester Model 73 ammunition. Production began
1877. Colt Frontier Six-Shooter was the actual name of the Colt pistol model,
and this was acid-etched on the left side of the barrel. After 1889, the legend
was roll-stamped until 1919, when the caliber designation ".44-40" was added.
Later Colt 1878 Double Action Army Models also wore this designation on the
barrel when chambered in 44 Colt/44-40 Winchester. The Bisley 1895 Model was the
final Colt to wear the Frontier Six Shooter designation.[10]
In the last half of the 19th Century it was very common for an individual to own
a long gun (rifle or carbine) and a revolver. The users of the .44-40 Winchester
cartridge in the Far West appreciated the convenience of being able to carry a
single caliber of ammunition which they could fire in both revolver and rifle.
The Colt Frontier Six Shooter Revolver and the Winchester Model 1873 or the
Winchester Model 1892 in .44-40 WCF caliber were one of the most common
combinations seen in "the Old West".
