Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1904 Colt introduced it's first medium frame double action target model revolver as the Colt Officer's Model. From then to 1969 Colt would produce versions of this under several names. The Officer's Model was always Colt's premium revolver until the introduction of the super-premium Python in 1955. In the days when the revolver was King of the Matches, the Officer's models were always the favorite of the champions and Colt's held all the records.
The Officer's Model Target, Third Issue
The Officer's Model Target was introduced in 1927 and made until 1949. Calibers were .22LR, .32 Colt, and .38 Special, with the .32 Colt only available pre-war. In 1935 a heavy barrel was made available as an option. Post-war only the 6" barrel was offered. Grips were checkered walnut with silver medallions.
