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.

The Colt O.P. is a Python size I frame(stocks are interchangable) they are virtually the same inside. sssshhhh a very quiet secret.

I didn't think of that. I have a Trooper .357 with the same frame size and I have Python grips on that...and I have an extra set...hmmm...

You do know who carried an OP, one fine police officer.
Who only needed one bullet.
The following has photos of mine.

Here are some photos of my very late 1926 production, Colt Army Special .38. It was almost an Official Police since it was so close to 1927 production!:

BOA2 ,that is a very nice example of one of the finest revolver made.
