Legend has it that dime novelist Ned Buntline presented special order Colt revolvers with long barrels and etachable shoulder stocks to Wyatt Earp Bat Masterson and other noted Old West celebrities. Based on this story the long-barreled “Peacemakers” with their special target sights came to be called “Buntline Specials.” Only 31 of the distinctive Buntline Specials were ever “carbine” versions of their popular single action revolvers. The Revolver Carbine is available with an 18” barrel in .45 caliber.
