Description:
Colt "Police Positive" revolver, 6 round, 5" barrel, .32 S&W Long, from 1926, serial #220303. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
The Colt Police Positive is a small-frame, double-action revolver featuring a six-round cylinder, chambered for either .32 S&W Long. Designed primarily for sale to federal, state, or local law enforcement agencies, the Police Positive was introduced into the firearms market by Colt's Manufacturing Company in 1905.
The first issue of the Police Positive ran from the revolver's introduction in 1907 until 1927. Sporting Colt's standard hard rubber grips, it was offered with barrel lengths of 2.5, 4, 5, and 6 inches. 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 revolver's sights consisted of a half-moon blade front with a fixed iron open rear sight, which was a simple V-notch shaped groove milled into the revolver's topstrap.

- Frame: Stamped with "Rampant Colt" icon
- Side of barrel: Stamped with "Police Positive .32 Police CTG"
