1926 mfr COLT OFFICER’S MODEL Double Action TARGET .38 Special Revolver C&R

PROHIBITION ERA Pre-World War II SPORTING Handgun

Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Colt Officer’s Model Double Action Target Revolver manufactured in 1926 in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1904, Colt introduced its first medium frame double action target model revolver as the Colt Officer’s Model. This was technically a variant of the original Colt New Army and Navy Series of 1892 to 1908. For 65 years they manufactured this handgun built on the “E” frame under several different names, one of them being the “Officer’s Model”. Each one was manufactured first and foremost as a target revolver and specifically not as a general-use handgun. These revolvers were available in .22 long rifle, .32 Colt and .38 Special, though Colt dropped the .32 Long Colt chambering in 1940.

The Officer’s Model was the top of Colt’s revolver line as a target revolver until the introduction of the Colt Python in 1955 and in 1969 the Colt Officer’s Model was dropped from production. In the days when the revolver was King of the Matches, the Officer’s Models were always the favorite of the champions and Colt held all the records.

The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish. The action is excellent in both double and single action modes. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grips are solid. The numbers match. A very nice Officer’s Target Model from the Roaring Twenties!
