Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1927 Colt decided to rename the Army Special to reflect the actual buyers of the gun, so the Army Special name was changed to the Official Police. That was just what the gun was, THE official police issue revolver for a great many police departments like the New York City Police, Boston Police, and Federal agencies like the FBI and Treasury Department. The Official Police would serve as a prime police issue gun into the 1960s and was highly favored by private guard services, industrial plant guards, and civilian gun owners wanting a powerful and strong revolver.

As a popular Colt model, Colt offered a number of variations of the gun. The finishes were blue and bright nickel. Barrel lengths were 2", 4", 5", and 6". Calibers offered were .22 LR, .32-20, 38-200 British (.38 S&W), .38 Special, and .41 Long Colt. The butt was square, with optional rounded butts offered. Heavy barrel versions were made, usually in 6". Grips were checkered walnut with silver Colt medallions until 1947 when "Coltwood" plastic with silver colored molded in medallions was used until 1954 when checkered walnut again made standard. The Official Police was produced from 1927 to 1969.
