Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Police Positive was introduced in 1907 as an improved evolution of Colt’s earlier New Police revolvers, most notably incorporating the company’s innovative “Positive Safety” system. This internal hammer-block safety prevented accidental discharge unless the trigger was deliberately pulled, a feature that greatly enhanced confidence for law enforcement and civilian users alike. Compact, lightweight, and easy to carry, the Police Positive quickly became popular with police departments seeking a reliable small-frame revolver for daily service. The First Issue, produced from 1907 to 1927, was offered in calibers such as .32 Colt, .32 Colt New Police, and .38 New Police (.38 S&W), with barrel lengths ranging from 2½ to 6 inches. Bright blue and bright nickel finishes were standard, and the revolver was initially fitted with hard-rubber grips, later transitioning to checkered walnut with silver Colt medallions after 1923.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
