Video - Colt's Official Police Revolver

[duelist1954]

I had my first Colt Official Police revolver in college in 1973, but I foolishly let it get away. When I was a young kid in the 1950s and 1960s, the Colt Official Police .38 Spl double action revolver was the most common handgun you'd see on the hips of the small town police officers in the little towns where I lived. I have one built in 1929 that we'll put to the test.

Nice job on video and an icon of revolvers.

And do you carry your one bullet for it in your shirt pocket?


In reality great video.

You know Kaeto, I was actually thinking of Barney Fife when I was shooting the video...LOL

Very nice. That's a pretty revolver.

That's a wonderful old revolver and it seems to shoot just as well now as it did when new. Thanks for the video, it was enjoyable...

There's just something magical about old Colt revolvers. Nice video.

 

[Trebor]

Nice video Mike.

EDIT: You traded a Colt for a Ruger Security Six?! Dang!

(Not that there's anything wrong with the Ruger, but it's not a classic Colt)

Back in 1973 the Security six was the hot new thing and the Colt OP wasn't a classic, it was just old...ah the foolishness of callow youth*LOL*
