Description: 1928 model Colt Police Positive in .38 caliber S&W / Colt / New Police. Here's a really nice example with almost no signs of use and is like a new gun, mechanically. It's had a very unique conversion to a 2 inch barrel, which was never offered by Colt. To hold and handle this pistol is a real joy because the quality is so outwardly obvious, especially when compared side by side to any competitors' current offering. This is the first year of the second edition improved model which has a more robust frame, better finish features, diamond cut real walnut grips, and the first safety feature introduced to handgun design: double action, “Positive Lock” trigger system. This new feature made it impossible to make the gun fire a bullet without deliberately pulling the trigger. Whether the hammer/trigger is pulled back and cocked or at rest, you can hit, drop or otherwise beat on it forever and the hammer will never strike the bullet's primer which causes the cartridge to fire. Nice to think that a gun maker was doing this without much more from the customer base than a few "it sure would be nice if..." So, what you have here is one of the earliest models made in the first year of this much improved model. Made just a year before the Great Depression. The good: The fit, finish and function are excellent and rare for a user level pistol this old. The barrel, chamber & inside of the cylinder bores appear unused. The action and lockup appear perfect. The bad: Several surface scratches and voids in the bluing have allowed some oxidation to begin, but not progress. The photos show a spot on the frame top strap above the left side of the cylinder. The bluing has been worn off and metal is exposed, but not rusting. There is a scratch on the fluting edge of the cylinder and some very faint spotting along the handgrip back strap. The biggest noticeable flaw is the front sight blade has a slight 2-3 degree rotation to the right. It actually does not seem to interfere in aiming it, though it is just odd. The barrel appears original to the gun or is at least the same production part and model year. The old style Colt stampings on the barrel show prominently. This gun was probably carried in the earlier post-depression years (1930's) and gathered it's wear marks and dings then. Most likely, the barrel was shortened during that time also as nearly all the 38 caliber guns were in 4 or 6 inch barrel. I acquired it ten years ago, covered with a grease like preservative which has kept it looking so good and stopped any further degradation. After a good cleaning, it was evident how well it has survived and thus represents a great investment opportunity in an item that can also save your life, if called upon to do so. Typical ammunition for this pistol in 38 S&W (a.k.a. 38 Colt, or "New Police") sends a 150 grain bullet at up to 700 feet per second. This adequately matches the self defense calibers being sold today. Ammo for this pistol is readily available for $15-18 per 50 round box, so you can shoot it a lot without the punishment of other historical calibers. I can assist in finding ammo, accessories and even reloading gear to keep you in supply for very little money. Comes with a new IWI thumb break under/over waistband holster that fits it perfectly.
