Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Pocket Positive is a compact, finely crafted revolver that reflects Colt’s mastery of early 20th-century concealed-carry design, offering a blend of elegance, mechanical refinement, and practical defensive capability. Introduced in 1908 as an evolution of Colt’s earlier small-frame revolvers, the Pocket Positive was built on the improved “Positive Lock” frame, which featured Colt’s internal hammer-block safety system—an important innovation that prevented the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger was fully pulled. Chambered most commonly in .32 Colt New Police (a cartridge dimensionally identical to .32 S&W Long), the revolver delivered mild recoil and respectable accuracy from its short barrel, making it well-suited to personal protection and law-enforcement backup roles. The revolver’s petite frame, rounded contours, and relatively narrow grip profile allowed it to be easily slipped into a coat or trouser pocket—true to its name—while its fit and finish typified Colt’s high standards of the era, with deep, lustrous bluing and precisely checkered hard-rubber or walnut grips. Its double-action trigger pull was smooth and predictable, with a notably crisp single-action break, giving the Pocket Positive a level of shootability uncommon for such a small revolver. The six-shot cylinder, counter-bored chambers, sharply defined sighting groove, and tight lockup all underscored Colt’s attention to detail, creating a handgun that was not only visually refined but also mechanically durable. Today, the Colt Pocket Positive stands as an evocative piece of Americana—an artifact of a time when personal-defense revolvers were crafted with the same care as target arms, and a cherished collectible for those who appreciate Colt’s legacy of quality and innovation.
