Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Officer’s Model Special, Second Issue is an early example of Colt’s purpose-built target revolvers, embodying the company’s focus on precision shooting and refined mechanical design at the turn of the 20th century. Manufactured in 1908 and chambered in .38 Special, this revolver is fitted with a 6-inch tapered barrel that offers an excellent balance between sight radius and handling. The blued finish is complemented by a pinned Patridge front sight mounted on a ramped base and an adjustable rear sight, a combination that clearly reflects its intended role as a serious competition and target handgun rather than a service or defensive revolver.

Internally, the Officer’s Model Special utilizes Colt’s classic double- and single-action lockwork, prized for its smooth trigger pull and precise timing. The revolver is fitted with reddish-brown “Coltwood” synthetic service-type grips featuring the Rampant Colt logo, along with a grip adapter that enhances control and shooter comfort during extended firing sessions. As a Second Issue Officer’s Model Special from the early .38 Special era, this revolver holds strong appeal for collectors and enthusiasts who value early Colt target revolvers, historical correctness, and the high level of craftsmanship that defined Colt’s golden age of revolver production.
