Item Description: Translate description
According to the Colt Archives Serial Number Database, this Police Positive revolver was produced in 1924 (First Issue Series). SPECS: DA/SA trigger, steel frame with nickel-plated finish, 4" barrel, fixed notch & groove rear sight, fixed blade front sight, black checkered hard rubber grips with embossed "COLT" on each side, spur hammer with checkering, checkered cylinder release latch and 6-shot swing-out cylinder. CONDITION: The grips on this revolver will have damage on the butt on each side, otherwise it is in very nice condition with a sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: The Colt Police Positive is a small-frame, double-action revolver that was produced from 1907-1947. It was an improvement of Colt's earlier "New Police" revolver, upgraded with an internal hammer block safety. Colt named this new security device the "Positive Lock", and its nomenclature ended up being incorporated as a partial namesake for the new revolver. It was produced in two "Issues" - The First issue ran from the revolver's introduction in 1907 until 1927. Sporting Colt's standard hard rubber grips, it was offered with barrel lengths of 2.5 (available only in .32 caliber), 4, 5, and 6 inches, and was chambered for the .32 Long Colt (it would also accept the .32 Short Colt), .32 Colt New Police, and .38 Colt New Police cartridges. The Second issue began in 1928 and ran until 1947, adding a somewhat heavier frame as well as a serrated top strap to reduce sight glare, and sported wooden grips. The Police Positive revolver dominated the law enforcement firearms market in the early 1900s. American gangster Al Capone often carried a nickel-plated .38 Police Positive with a 4-inch barrel.
