Description:
This Colt Police Positive .38, manufactured in 1919, is a small-frame, double-action revolver chambered for the .38 Colt New Police cartridges. It features a 5-inch barrel, a six-round cylinder, sporting Colt's standard hard rubber grips and was finished with a polished blued finish. The Colt Police Positive was an improvement of Colt's earlier "New Police" revolver and was upgraded with an internal hammer block safety. Colt named this new security device the "Positive Lock", and its nomenclature ended up being incorporated as a partial namesake for the new revolver. Colt's Positive Lock safety, the innovation responsible for the gun's introduction, functioned by preventing the firing pin from striking the primer of the cartridge unless the trigger was deliberately pulled. Intended to address deficiencies of earlier models such as the Single Action Army, the Positive Lock prevented an accidental discharge even if the hammer was struck or the pistol was dropped, allowing the revolver to be safely carried with all six chambers loaded. The cylinder of the Police Positive rotated in the clockwise direction. In its advertising Colt proclaimed that "All Colt cylinders TURN TO THE RIGHT", and suggested that the Colt design forced the cylinder crane up against the frame, resulting in tighter lockup with less play and better chamber to barrel alignment, thus markedly increasing accuracy. The First issue of the Police Positive ran from the revolver's introduction in 1907 until 1927. .38 Special
