DH, in his Santa guise, gifted me with a pristine 1920 Colt Police Positive (per the serial number stamped on the crane). It appears to be all original, and matches the description on the Colt site as being a first version.
Based on measurements of the cylinders and barrel, as well as the info stamped on the barrel, this takes a .38 S&W caliber. However, while it's waaayyy too large for a .32 (the other caliber this was made for), it's a bit tight, like 1/1000 for the bullet diameter I can find online (poor Santa: he thought he had found me a .38 special to go with my DS and OP!).
Anybody else have one that they shoot occasionally? If so, is current .38 S&W what I'm actually looking for? And how about the Prvi ammo? Any good?
Thanks for any help - even if it turns out to be a safe queen, I love it!
