Product Description
COLT Double Action POLICE POSITIVE SPECIAL .32-20 WCF Blued C&R Revolver
Colt’s Widely Produced Revolver Design
Here we present a C&R Colt Police Positive Special made by the Colt Manufacturing Company with a production run from 1907 through 1995 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Colt Police Positive Special is a medium-frame, double-action revolver featuring a six-round cylinder, primarily chambered in the .38 Special caliber, though not on this example. It was designed primarily for sale to federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies and enjoys the distinction of being Colt’s most widely produced revolver design with over 750,000 built.
At the time of the Police Positive’s introduction, the American civilian revolver market was still dominated by .32 caliber revolvers, and the .38 Special cartridge did not catch on with civilians until well into the 1920s. In addition, there was a specialized segment of the revolver market that Colt had been addressing for many decades. Colt had long offered revolvers chambered for the popular .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40 Winchester cartridges. The convenience of a common cartridge for one’s long arm and sidearm had obvious advantages, and the popularity of such rifle & revolver combinations grew quickly with American shooters. At the time, rifles firing the .32-20 were the most popular “varmint guns” because they provided accuracy and sufficient killing power with low levels of penetration, noise, and pelt damage. For those reasons, rifles and handguns firing these cartridges were very popular with varmint hunters, trappers, and farmers.
The overall condition is fine. The original bule finish has been preserved. Excellent action. Bright, strongly rifled bore. Markings are sharp. Both grips are in good shape with some chipping around the butts.
