The Detective Special, Second Issue:
After World War Two Colt began making minor changes to it's line of guns including the Detective Special. Among other changes was to change the old cylinder retention system from an interlocked screw and stud to a spring and plunger under a cap screw. The front sight was changed from the old style "half moon" to a ramped sight with a serrated rear face to improve the sight picture and had a wider pedestal on the bottom of the sight. Later the front sight was made wider and the pedestal was deleted. To match the wider front sight the rear sight groove was widened. The shape of the hammer spur was changed and it was grooved instead of checkered. The trigger was grooved instead of checkered, and the checkering on the cylinder release was deleted. The ejector rod was lengthened. During the late 1940's into the 1950's the grips were reddish brown plastic called "Coltwood". Later Colt went back to checkered American Walnut with silver Colt medallions. At this time, Colt began assigning letter codes to their frames, and the small frame series was designated as the Colt "D" frame. Prior to this, the Detective Special was referred to only as a Police Positive Special frame. The guns as made from 1947 to 1965 are the Second Issue series.
