Description:
COLT “OFFICIAL POLICE” .22 LR Double Action TARGET Revolver w/HOLSTER C&R
Police, U.S. Military, and Sportsman’s Revolver
Here we present a C&R Colt Official Police Double Action Revolver, made by the Colt Manufacturing Company with a production run from 1907 through 1969 in Hartford, Connecticut with over 1,000,000 revolvers built. As the 20th Century began, the older .22 and .32 caliber revolvers which had been standard-issue for most of America’s police departments began to be phased out in favor of the larger-bore .38 caliber.
The Official Police was machined of fine carbon steel, with blued or nickel-plated finishes, and was offered in 4, 5 and 6 inches barrels. Built on Colt's .41 or "E" frame, it was manufactured in a variety of chamberings, including .22 LR, .32-20, .41 Long Colt, and the most common and popular, the .38 Special. Colt's "Positive Lock" firing pin block safety is a standard feature of the revolver, preventing the firing pin from striking the primer unless the trigger is deliberately pulled.
In 1908 Colt introduced a sleek and modernized revolver they dubbed the “Army Special”, which in the powerful (for the time) and popular .38 Special quickly became the issue service revolver of many departments. The revolver was renamed "Colt's Official Police" in 1927 in order to better market to law enforcement agencies. It became one of the best-selling police firearms of all time, eventually in the 1950s coming to exemplify typical law enforcement officer weaponry. The Official Police was also used by various U.S. and allied military forces during World War II, along with being a favorite with American sportsmen and target shooters.
