Colt Buntline Special Revolver

The Colt Buntline Special is a variant of the Colt Single Action Army revolver, characterized by its unusually long barrel, reportedly at the request of the Western writer Ned Buntline. Introduced in literature rather than historical facts, this revolver is said to have been presented to several Western figures, including Wyatt Earp. Though popularized by stories, the actual existence of such a firearm during the era is heavily debated and lacks historical documentation from Colt’s records.
