Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Police Positive, introduced in 1907, was an enhanced version of the earlier New Police model, featuring Colt's innovative "Positive Safety" mechanism. This revolver quickly gained traction among law enforcement agencies due to its compact size and lightweight design, making it an ideal choice for police departments seeking a reliable sidearm. Produced in various configurations until 1947, the Police Positive First Issue was available in several calibers, including .32 Colt, .32 Colt New Police, and .38 New Police, which is essentially equivalent to the .38 S&W. Customers could choose from barrel lengths of 2½", 4", 5", and 6", catering to a range of preferences and needs. Finishing options included bright blue and bright nickel, providing a polished appearance. Initially, the revolvers featured hard rubber grips, which remained standard until 1923, after which checkered walnut grips with silver Colt medallions became the norm. The First Issue of the Police Positive was manufactured from 1907 to 1927, solidifying its place as a significant model in Colt's lineup and a favored firearm for law enforcement of the era.
