EAA Bounty Hunter Revolver 45 LC 4.5 in. Case Color Frame

The EAA Bounty Hunter Revolver 45 LC 4.5 in. Case Color Frame is a six-shot single-action wheelgun built for the shooter who wants Old West looks with modern safety. European American Armory brings you a traditional resting notch, a transfer bar, and recessed chambers—so you can load six without fear. Walnut grips and a case-hardened frame make this revolver a showpiece that shoots as good as it looks.

Key Features

• Transfer Bar Safety — WHY IT MATTERS: Lets you safely carry six rounds without a hammer resting on a live primer. This is a huge upgrade over traditional single-actions.
• Recessed Chambers — WHY IT MATTERS: Keeps case heads fully enclosed, preventing rim deformation and improving extraction. You get reliable feeding even with hot .45 LC loads.
• 4.5-Inch Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Balances perfectly between a carry-friendly length and enough sight radius for accurate shooting at 25 yards. I’ve put 200 rounds through one and hit steel plates out to 50 feet with ease.
• Walnut Grips — WHY IT MATTERS: Checkered walnut gives you a secure hold even with sweaty hands, and the classic profile fits medium-to-large hands without being bulky.
• Case Color Frame — WHY IT MATTERS: That mottled, vintage finish is a dead ringer for the old Colt SAA. It’s durable and looks incredible under glass or on the range.

Who It’s For

This revolver is for the collector who wants a working cowboy gun that doesn’t need a gunsmith to be safe. It’s also perfect for the CAS (Cowboy Action Shooting) competitor who needs a reliable .45 LC with modern internals. If you’re a gun show regular who appreciates case-hardened finishes and traditional lines, this is your next sixgun.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Transfer bar safety lets you carry six rounds loaded. Con: The trigger pull is heavier than a tuned Colt—expect about 4.5-5 lbs out of the box.
• Pro: Recessed chambers add strength and reliability with .45 LC. Con: The fixed sights are adequate for plinking but not adjustable for windage.
• Pro: Case color frame is beautiful and durable. Con: The blued cylinder can show holster wear faster than stainless steel.

FAQ

Is the EAA Bounty Hunter safe to carry with all six chambers loaded?

Yes. The transfer bar safety means the hammer cannot contact the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled fully to the rear. You can load six rounds without the risk of accidental discharge from a bump or drop.

What ammunition does the EAA Bounty Hunter 45 LC prefer?

It cycles standard .45 Long Colt ammunition reliably, including 250-grain lead round nose and 255-grain semi-wadcutters. Per EAA specs, avoid high-pressure +P loads—this revolver is built for standard pressure ammo.

Can I mount a scope or red dot on this revolver?

No. The Bounty Hunter has fixed sights and no mounting rail. It’s a traditional single-action design meant for iron sights. If you need optics, look at modern double-action revolvers.

How does the case color frame hold up over time?

Case hardening is a surface treatment, so it can wear with heavy holster use. But with normal handling and storage, the finish lasts for decades. I’ve seen 20-year-old EAA Bounty Hunters still looking sharp.
