Bob, it was a rust preventive coating that was popular several years ago. Teflon (the same stuff used in frying pans to make them non-stick) was applied to firearms. Helped keep them rust free. My Detective Special was Teflon coated (the barrel is blued as it was a replacement barrel).
Here's a photo of my Tefloned Colt Police Positive. The grips are from Fuzzy Farrant. I had him leave the body side of the grip panel flat and uncheckered and I had him cut off the bottom of the grip to around the bottom of the gun's frame.

Since you've mentioned the Colt Police Positive, you've provided me with the excuse to show off the oldest NYPD gun in my collection. Colt PP from 1915, shipped to Audley (at that time located at 8 Centre Market Place, right behind the old NYPD headquarters). Stamped with shield number and side plate engraved with Officer William L. Kavanagh's name. Couldn't find out anything more about him, except he was likely the same detective mentioned in a 1936 news blurb I found through Mr. Google.

If I buy one of those rigs, will they send me an awesome pornstache like the guy on the right has?

Wonder if it was intended for female uniformed officers, the way the 3" SB HB 36 was in the early 70s. Know anything about the reasoning behind it? Great collection. Great cop, by the way.

Hi. Keep in mind that I posted "I think I got it from the Equipment Section." Bought the gun a long time ago and it is very possible I bought it from a private dealer. In truth, I just don't remember!

Clearly, not a man to be trifled with.

Every time I see a 'stache like that, I think about Bradley Whitford's character in "The Good Guys".

Either that or Gabe Kaplan from Welcome Back Kotter. It would explain a lot. High school teacher in a ****** apartment could never have gotten such a hot wife.
