Introduced in 1907, the Police Positive line was part of Colt’s effort to modernize the service revolver, offering refinements like the “Positive Lock” safety mechanism that prevented accidental discharge unless the trigger was deliberately pulled. By the time of this 1919 example, the revolver had firmly established itself in American policing circles for its reliability and balance. The model’s blued finish and clean mechanical lines exemplify Colt’s attention to both form and function. Today, surviving examples like this one are appreciated by collectors for their historical connection to early 20th-century law enforcement and their enduring mechanical quality.
