COLT official police .38 SPL
Description:
Guns Listing ID: 580517
Overview
The Colt Official Police is a six-shot, double-action/single-action revolver chambered for .38 Special (also commonly used with .38 Special +P loads in later-adopted duty practices). It was conceived as a duty/service revolver — a rugged, no-nonsense handgun intended to withstand heavy service use and simplified maintenance.
Key Technical Characteristics (typical / factory ranges)
Caliber: .38 Special (standard); many examples are rated for standard-pressure only — check specific model markings for +P approval.
Capacity: 6 rounds (single-row cylinder)
Action: Double-action with single-action capability (external exposed hammer)
Frame Material: Forged steel (service-grade steel)
Cylinder: Swing-out cylinder with extraction/ejection via ejector rod (typical right-hand release)
Barrel lengths (common factory offerings): 2\", 3\", 4\", 6\" (also less common lengths exist depending on era and special-order)
Sights: Typically a ramped front sight with a square-notch rear; some service/target variants offered adjustable rear sights depending on production year or special-order configuration
Finish options: Blued steel (common), nickel-plated; later and custom restorations available in other finishes
Grips: Wood grips (walnut or laminated) were common on earlier models; later service models sometimes fitted with rubber or checkered utility grips
Weight (unloaded): Varies with barrel length — generally in the range of roughly 30 oz (short-barrel) to mid-40s oz (long-barrel) — see the specific specimen for exact weight
Overall length / barrel/height: Varies by barrel; compact models shorter and long-barrel models measurably longer
Design & Ergonomics
Duty-oriented profile: Thick, robust topstrap and barrel lug to withstand hard use.
Grip & control: Substantial grip frame designed for a two- or one-handed hold typical of duty shooting. Many Official Police revolvers have a slightly square backstrap and roomy grip frame that accepts full-size service-style grips.
Controls: Traditional revolver controls — exposed hammer (can be cocked for lighter single-action trigger), cylinder release typically on the left side of the frame, and an ejector rod that is used to remove spent cartridges from the swung-out cylinder.
Operation & Handling
Trigger: Heavier double-action pull for safety and duty carry; single-action cocking provides a shorter, lighter trigger for precise shots.
Recoil & felt-shock: .38 Special recoil is mild in a full-size steel revolver; weight and solid construction assist in controllable shooting and rapid follow-up shots.
Reliability: Known for rugged reliability and longevity. The simple, strong mechanism with relatively few delicate parts made it easy to maintain in the field.
Manufacturer: COLT
Model: official police
Caliber Info: .38 SPL
Condition: Used - Non-Certified
Barrels: 4" BARREL
Action: REVOLVER
Finish: black
Price: $400.99
