The Colt New Service is a large-frame double-action revolver that marked a major step forward in Colt’s revolver development at the turn of the 20th century, and this 1907 example reflects the model’s early production period. Introduced in 1898, the New Service was designed to handle more powerful cartridges than Colt’s earlier double-action revolvers, making it suitable for military, law enforcement, and civilian use alike.

Featuring a substantial 7½-inch barrel, this New Service provides a long sight radius and improved ballistic performance, contributing to its reputation for accuracy and controllability. The blued finish and fixed blade front sight with a frame-notched rear reflect the utilitarian styling typical of early 20th-century service revolvers. Fitted with synthetic grips and a grip adapter for improved ergonomics, this revolver demonstrates how the robust New Service platform could be adapted to individual shooter preferences. Valued for its strength, smooth double-action trigger, and historical significance, the Colt New Service remains an important and collectible example of Colt’s big-frame revolver heritage.
