My Colt Pocket Positive.

[Thuer]

I know. This is a Smith and Wesson forum.
I do like Smith and Wesson more than Colt. But I saw this tiny Colt revolver by a good friend of me who is a gundealer.

I couldend resist to give this old Colt Pocket Positive made in 1910 in caliber .32 Colt a new home.
The knob of the ejectorrod is a replacement.
I do like the old positive safety system without the small hooks to connect it. If you dont place the safetysystem well you have a problem.
And have to reassembly the revolver again to fix that.

The apperance of this Colt is very elegant. It is very well made.

I like the little Colt too. I intend to get one, hopefully with the 2.5 in. barrel, someday. They are just too cute. Dang, I hate to use that word to describe a firearm.

This reminds me of the Colt .32 carried by Modesty Blaise in the wonderful novels by Peter O'Donnell. The character also ran as a comic strip in about 53 countries.

The author was holding a gun similar to this in one cover photo. I think it may actually have been a New Police model.

I read that whole series and have bound exmples of the collected comics. I tried to decide which Colt .32 Modesty carried until she went to a Star PD .45. I decided that if it was a prewar gun, it was a Pocket Positive with 2.5 or three inch barrel. If a later one, a Cobra with three-inch barrel.

I hope this interests someone here more than it probably will. Anyway, when I think of Colt .32 revolvers, I think of Modesty Blaise, and of a Colt New Police that my dad owned for a time.

This post reminds me of Pulp Fiction. Does anybody know why?

It also recalls The Limey Why?

I am to young to remember both.
