Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
When World War Two started America needed firearms and plenty of them. With the US Model 1911-A1 .45 Automatic pistol being committed to standard issue for troops, commercial revolvers were pressed into service for arming defense plant guards, Civil Defense, for sales to civilian police departments, and for some limited issue to the military.Both Colt Firearms and Smith & Wesson were called on to make war-time versions of their standard service type revolvers.S&W responded with a parkerized version of their Model 10 M&P .38 Special revolver they called the "Victory Model".Colt's war-time revolver was a parkerized finished Official Police known as the Colt Commando.
This was nothing more than the Official Police with a dull parkerized finish and reddish-brown plastic grips Colt called "Coltwood".These early type plastic grips are known for shrinking, leaving gaps in the fit to the frame.These were standard pre-war type Colt revolvers except the checkering was omitted from the trigger and the cylinder release.The Commando was made in .38 Special, and in 4 inch barrels, with a few 2 inch barrels. There are reports that a few very rare 6 inch models were made.
