Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The first variant, the Officer's Model Target appeared in 1904 as a Premium model more focused on sports shooting than to give it common use, it was produced in calibers .32 and .38 and with barrels from 4 to 7.5 inches, being the most common is the 6-inch. The earliest guns were produced with a cylinder that rotated counterclockwise, however, following the introduction of the Colt Army Special in 1908, the sense of the cylinder was reversed. The first versions of the Officer's Model were built on Colt's "E" frame like its contemporary the Colt Official Police. Units manufactured before the Second World War, being "Premium" weapons, received a heat treatment (not chemical) that left them with an intense blue finish. Pre-war guns used a flanged screw and bolt to hold the cylinder in place. When the screw is removed, the screw flange pushes up the cylinder retaining bolt.
