Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Pocket Positive is a double-action revolver that was introduced as an improved version of the New Pocket model. It features Colt's "Positive Safety" which is a steel bar that moves down inside the action as the trigger is pulled, allowing the hammer to move forward and fire the cartridge. This safety feature adds an extra layer of protection to the Colt rebounding hammer safety of the New Pocket model, making it safer in case of accidental drops on the hammer. The Pocket Positive's design was finalized with this safety feature and it remained in use by Colt until 1969. Later on, during World War Two, competitor S&W introduced a similar hammer blocking safety device.
The Pocket Positive was available in three calibers: .32 Colt, .32 S&W, and .32 Colt New Police, and was produced in two finishes: bright blue and bright nickel. It came in three barrel lengths: 2 1/2", 3 1/2", and 6". The Pocket Positive First Issue had "knife blade" front sights and was produced from 1905 to 1927. On the other hand, the Pocket Positive Second Issue was produced with a matted top strap, wider sights, and it was available with a 2" barrel. It was in production from 1927 to 1940.
