I'm the furthest thing from an expert on Colt SAAs, but I think it's a neat gun for sure.
Topstrap looks grafted on from an OMM or other DA Colt of the era? Rear sight is very wide.
No ERH.
Base pin will have a barrel contour cutout- for me these are more difficult to remove and easy to scratch the underside of the barrel. I don't think the gun has been shot much if any since being customized.
I like the front sight well enough. Any chance that barrel is modified off a Colt DA gun?
Wide serrated trigger.
Is it common for the grip frame to partially obscure the SN stamp on the underside of the main frame?

Looks like someone went to a lot of work to make a gun that THEY liked but just not my taste.

Not really a No. 5 as advertised.

38 colt?
Is that the 38 long colt? or
Is that the 38 short colt?

38 colt? Is that the 38 long colt? or Is that the 38 short colt? I was thinking that was an odd caliber to build a custom around. |

It's more of a Croft style light weight M1-M4 than a Keith No5.

It's kind of a neat gun....but...there are a couple things I'm just not really keen on..I would pass.
However...those guys ALWAYS have nice stuff...for the $$ I'd have the Shooting Master....

Just sold a gun with them in their last auction, they always seem to get top dollar for their S&Ws.

Yep they have some nice guns but I wish someone would teach them a little about what they are. That Frontier is listed as a SAA.
*&^%$#@#$$#@ I would like to have another SAA AT THAT PRICE... But they are auctions.

No expert here, but there is something about it I kind of like. It might be a little odd, but I've been accused of the same.

For some reason that gun looks like it was designed by a committee. Some okay individual features but the sum of the parts seems to come out less rather than resulting in a cohesive and positive conclusion.

I have seen the gun in person and have held it. I really like it. A friend of mine owns it. Very unique and it has quite a lot of character to it.

I actually like pretty well. I think I'd like it better with an ejector rod, but still very cool In my opinion.
I'd LOVE it at the current price, but I'm guessing it will go for a good bit more than the $1625 it's at now
