THE SHOW GUN

The 2006 CCA Louisville Show Gun was designed after the .22 RF Flattop Target Model of the 1888 to 1895 period. Less than 925 Flattop Target Models were built by Colt during that period and less than 92 in the .22 RF caliber. According to historical research this is the only Colt Flattop Target Model made with an 8.5 inch barrel.
