About Real Police Positive Revolver revolver that was a mainstay of law enforcement during the first half of the 20th century. Introduced in 1907, it was built on Colt's compact and lightweight "D-frame," making it comfortable for all-day carry. Its six-shot cylinder was typically chambered for cartridges like the .32 Colt New Police or the .38 Colt New Police, which were considered sufficient for police duty at the time. The revolver's most important innovation was its internal "Positive Lock" safety, which is where it got its name. This feature was a hammer block that physically prevented the firing pin from striking a cartridge unless the trigger was pulled completely. This was a major advancement in safety, as it allowed an officer to carry the weapon with all six chambers loaded without fear of an accidental discharge if the gun was dropped or the hammer was struck. The 4-inch barrel model was particularly popular because it offered an excellent balance between being compact enough for easy carrying and having a long enough sight radius for accurate shooting. Its success led to the development of the Police Positive Special, which had a slightly longer cylinder to accommodate more powerful rounds like the .38 Special. The entire Police Positive family, including the famous snub-nosed Detective Special, is remembered for its fine craftsmanship, reliability, and role in arming police officers across the United States and in other places like the Hong Kong Police Force. Its legacy also extends into popular culture, where it was famously wielded by Charles Bronson in "Death Wish" and was once owned by the gangster Al Capone.
