Description:
Guns Listing ID: 700514



The Colt Police Positive is a small-frame, double-action revolver introduced in 1905, designed primarily for law enforcement agencies. It earned its name from the innovative \"Positive Lock\" hammer-block safety, which prevented the revolver from firing unless the trigger was deliberately pulled, making it safe to carry fully loaded.
