As a child I used to look into my grandfather's gun case My uncle had it and brought it to show me.
I know this thread is not for Colts, but today was one of those days that I got to take a trip back in time. As a child I used to look into my grandfather's gun case a marvel at the revolver propped up in there. That was circa 1966.. He passed away in 1968 and I never saw that revolver again until today. Turns out it is a Colt Official Police in .32-20 serial number 458xxx which I believe was manufactured in 1920. My uncle had it and brought it to show me. He is letting me take it for awhile to clean it up and shoot..
OOOooo...!!! That's nice. I've long wanted a 6-inch Colt Army Special or Official Police in .32-20. Thanks for posting the photos and the story.
Whew DWalt! You're tougher than me. I've got pre-war Army Specials, Post War Official Police, even the Python but can't make my trigger finger prefer Colt's double-action trigger over the Smith & Wesson K-Frame's trigger, old one or newer one.
I have one of each. The Colt Army Special is, with a few cosmetic differences, just the early version of the Official Police. The main change is the name. My .32-20 OP has a 5" barrel, and one thing to be said for it over the M&P is that the sights are much better. I also prefer the OP's DA trigger pull to the M&P.
