Shooting a 1919 Colt Police Positive Special Revolver .38 Special
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2017
- Up close look at shooting a 1919 Colt Police Positive Special in 38 Special. Not sure why these aren't more popular. They're neat little Colt revolvers with a lot of history. This one is well worn and shoots great.
It's not a revolver. It's a legend!
Unfortunately never owned one of these neat, iconic, legendary D-frame 38 Special revolvers. Have fired a couple. Wonderful little, deadly guns. Owned an Official Police 38 Spec. revolver..sold it to a friend in California. .Great old Positive Lock revolvers!!
I was issued a Colt twice in my career. Once in 1968 a 4” in uniform and again, a Detective Special 2” in 1974 and both times those weapons saved my life.
🤥
What a beautiful old Colt revolver!
I normally dislike silent videos, but your camera work is very well done! Thank you for posting.
Thank you
I just wanted to come out and say thanks for no bs intro..you were exactly what i needed and I appreciate the video...keep up the good work brother
My mother has one that belonged to my great uncle. It was "issued" to him by the Mackinville-Jenks Cotton Mill during the Loray Mill strike in Gastonia NC in 1929. All workers who did not walk out were given this revolver by the mill co. They gave my grand dad one but nobody seems to know what became of it.
Wow that is a cool true story and to be able to obtain possession of that revolver for sentemental value would be worth it for sure !!!
nice
@@slowmanEF Wowwee!! Interesting story.
Great story
I have this gun and I love it! I also have the Colt diamondback 38. What may surprise you is how similar they feel when shooting them. Both are excellent handguns. Nice video, Thanks!
They are both D-frame, small-frame revolvers..thats,why the similarity in handling. The Dismondback is a tad beefier..
Will the short 38s shoot out of the police positive?
The Diamondback is a Police Positive Special with a sexed up barrel, so yes, it feels similar.
@@deeaguilar7645 .38 short and long COLT cartridges will, yes.
.38 S&W will not (usually). Generally, the .38 S&W and the .38 Colt "New Police" (which is actually just a different bullet shape of a .38 S&W) are too large in diameter to fit in the chambers.
I have seen a few .38 Special revolvers that WILL chamber them. Given the tolerances of manufacturing, it can happen.
If they will chamber, they are OK to fire as the pressure of the .38 S&W is low enough to not be a problem. Even though the lead bullets are .360" instead of .357" they will swage down if fired in a .38 Special.
What size bullets does it shoot
Beautiful pistol!
I guess his neighbors are used to it
This is 'light work' compared to what the neighbors are "used to" :)
This is what you call satisfying 😌
Nice silent shooting,your neighbors must love you lol
My favourite revolver.👍👍👍
Nice old Colt!
I ordered a 1919 first issue Colt Police Positive in 38 spl with a 5 in barrel. It appears to be in vary good condition. Should hopefully get it Saturday I hope.
Well did you get it? How is it?
@@guaporeturns9472 From j&g sales In Arizona, they sell new and used firearms. I love it, it’s in vary good shape to me at least.
@@AK74Man87 nice. I used to deal with j&g a lot back 10-15 yrs ago. Bought a bunch of milsurp pistols from them.. and a few old shotguns.
Sounds like the old action movies that was funny but it's such a nice gun
100 Years later this is a moder revolver
They actually are much more popular than you think. The Colt Detective Special is nothing more than a Police Positive Special with a 2" barrel and "round butt". Also the Agent and the Cobra were all versions of the PPS.
The Diamondback is a Police Positive Special with a sexy barrel.
I began a 36 year career in law enforcement in 1973 and revolvers were the rule of the day. Literally, the rule. While the Official Police and the Police Positive Special had been discontinued just a few years before, the Official Police was very popular. I was working with officers who had begun their careers in the 40s and 50s. They still had their older Colt and S&W revolvers.
The Police Positive Special was considered a bit light and small for a police duty revolver ...probably without good cause. Detective Specials, both the old model (pre-1972) and new model (post-1972) were extremely popular for plain clothes officers and off duty use. I still have the one I carried for many years (and still carry it occasionally).
FWIW, in the 70s the most popular revolvers from Colt were the Colt Official Police and the earlier Trooper and Trooper .357 revolvers. I had a Trooper MKIII, which is a different revolver (post-1969) than the earlier Trooper. Good, sturdy police duty gun, but not as finely made as the earlier Colts.
S&W Model 10, 13, 15 and 19 revolvers were very popular. J frame S&Ws were popular for plainclothes and off duty. Stainless steel guns would eventually replace Nickle plated guns, but in the early 70s they were few and far between and expensive.
Despite what some may think based on movies, the Colt Python was never very popular with police officers. Most of us had to buy our own guns and Pythons were too expensive and offered nothing useful to a police officer over an Official Police or Trooper MKIII. They were much too expensive for cities that issued handguns to even consider.
N frame S&Ws, Model 27 and 28 were either expensive (Model 27) or heavier than needed (Model 28) Great revolvers, I have a 4" Model 28, but they are heavy. They weren't as popular as K frames. L frames didn't come along until 1981 and my department started authorizing 9mm semi-autos in 1986, so L frames were a bit late to the party to be very popular. Incidentally, they fit a Colt Official Police holster perfectly. Colt had the frame size right all along!
What size was the best frame
@@craigfinley2507 Depends what you call "best". The most common in the Colts was "I" or "E" frame (identical except for firing pin placement) this is the Official Police, Trooper, Trooper .357, Trooper MKIII, Metropolitan MKIII, Lawman MKIII, Officer's Model Match. This is essentially identical to the S&W "L" frame. (they will fit the same holsters)
The most common in the S&W handguns was the "K" frame. I preferred the larger "N" frame, but the "K" frame was much more common. S&W didn't make the "L" frame at that time, and by the time they came out (early 80s) most officers had seen the writing on the wall about revolvers. Existing officers weren't going to invest their own $$$ into a new revolver when they would probably be replaced within a few years. Some new officers in the early 80s chose the "L" frame...and then switched to semi-autos within 5-6 years. Until 1986 we had no choice except to carry revolvers.
Detectives, plainclothes, off duty and backup guns were usually Colt "D" frame (Agent, Detective Special, Cobra) or S&W "J" frame (Chief's Special, Centennial, Bodyguard)
Choose what you think is "best", they are/were all suitable for police duty.
FWIW I do not know of any police officers who shot a K frame S&W .357 Magnum to the point it had to be replaced. That was not the police doing that. We were issued 158 gr. lead SWC .38 Special ammo for duty and for practice, along with .38 Special target wadcutters for practice. No one was shooting out a K frame with *that* ammo. Supposedly that was the "reason" behind the "L" frame. Maybe, but police officers just don't shoot that much .357 Magnum ammo. Sport shooters probably shot more .357 Magnum ammo than police officers.
We shot what was CHEAP...that means the FREE ammo we were given for practice...and those weren't even +P .38 Special.
Thats a nice revolver man..old is gold !! I'll say it again..id take that over a auto pistol any day..its got a wicked sound..
I do totally agree!! Yessir. A challenge to hang onto, since it is a small, D-frame revolver.
...I own one just like it...and made the same year...1919...
That's a nice specimen. Standard pressure .38 Spl is readily available. I'm guessing they are rare guns though.
Yessir, they are getting rare..No "+ P" ctrdges should be fired in these relics..would shake them apart quickly!! Would be a sin!
Beautiful revólver colt
That's a no nonsense revolver.
..Absolutely! ! The way it should be!!
God what a beautiful gun
Yessir!! Haven't made them like that in eons...too labor-intensive, time-consuming..
I got one made the same year. This 38 has quite the bark, lol.
Haha agreed!
One-hundred one years old now & still going strong, hope you're still taking good care of her!
..I'm sure the gentleman is..!
Definitely am. She's a beauty I'll be taking care of and holding on to for the rest of my time.
@@slowmanEF Great, the .38 Special I want is a S&W Victory model from WWII. One of the four-inch barrel American models in .38 Special, rather than the ones made for the British in .38 S&W.
Love the Gun, I still prefer the Smith and Wesson model 10 though.
So do I. Nothing against classic Colts. I just prefer classic Smith and Wesson revolvers.
..So do I..own a few..stronger, tad more accurate service revolver, less parts to go out-of-time..Agree.
Me too , but this is damn cool too
... *hmmm first time I 've seen the close up andddddd there seems no flash gap or effect either am I wrong ???*
Yes, there's a barrel/cylinder flash-gap, but Colt made them with close tolerances..believe us, it's there!!
Im in Mexico visiting my godmother and she just pulled out this exact colt same markings on it except its chrome with pearl grips 38. Special my jaw dropped amazing pistol dont ask me how it got to her she is 86
That's great!
Nice..i like the video,, mine's chambered in 38 s&w & was made in 1903 i believe..i am looking for one chambered in 38 spl like yours...great pistol...thanx 4 the video. ...
Bryant Gill just bought one made in 1913 chambered in 38 special in GREAT condition for $650. Worth the money
@@Colby-rd3pe u might have me mixed up with someone else,,mine's chambered in 38 S&W,,and I didn't say how much I paid for it
Bryant Gill I was actually just sharing how much it should cost to get a 38 special in good condition, since you said you wanted one
@@Colby-rd3pe yes I would love to find a nice one in good shape,, your right,, they are getting a little scarce nowadays...
38 S & W is not a very powerful round but it is accurate. That's what counts.
Nice revolver. I have the same one. Where do live where you can shoot in your backyard with neighbors so close?
Neighbors aren't quite as close as it appears, due to the zoom of the camera. But this is outside city limits, so it's all good.

Can fmj ammo be used in an old police positive 38 revolver? Thanks
How big are the pigeons in your back garden 😨
Great video, thanks. Do they still make those revolvers?
Thanks! And they quit making the Police Positive Special in 1995. To get one with this vintage look you need to get a first issue which was made 1908-1927.
They haven't mfd. these Positive Lock- type revolvers for msny yrs..

За век вооще ничуть не устарел бляць. С удовольцтвием бы сам таскал такой же при возможности.
Do they all aim high and to the left?
@@fahey7335 That is absolutely correct..right on..usually a gripping, flinching problem. That gun is more accurate than most shooters who hold her..
Fixed sight revolvers can be "adjusted" by trying different loads and finding one that "shoots to the sights". Heavier bullets tend to shoot higher, lighter bullets lower. Different loads, or brands of ammo can, and often do, have different points of impact.
It was also the standard of the day to use a "6 o'clock hold", that is to place the top of the front sight at the bottom of the bullseye...like a ball balanced on a stick...and for the rounds to hit center. So yes, they were designed to shoot a little high.
How much would this be worth on the market for collectors? I have one.
Precioso! !!!!!!!!!!!! Una verdadera joya de revólver.
What is the price of this?
This one was inexpensive. I think I picked it up for around $300.
@NotsoGrim yes
@NotsoGrim They quit making the Police Positive Special in 1995. To get one with this vintage look you need to get a first issue which was made 1908-1927.
@@slowmanEF That is relatively in-expensive..Easily a $700-$800 wheelgun!!
This is the same gun Paul Kersey used in Death Wish. It takes out bad guys. We can sue use that again.
These pop up a lot in gangster movies from.30s. wonder who has them now?
For sale dis gun?

I have one of those from my great grandpa. Its not rusted out just looks old but I'm afraid to shoot it. Should I get it repaired and cleaned?
I shot one of these this summer from my great grandpa too, without prior cleaning. It had been sitting in a safe for probably about 45 years, collecting dust. It shot perfectly, which is a testament to the simplicity and reliability of these types of guns. That being said, it certainly is smarter and safer to give it a quick oil/clean before use (I'm not an expert AT ALL, keep in mind, just be smart).
..at least, thoroughly cleaned first..then see if repairs are necessitated.
@@joshpeterson1999 Most exactly. You can thank Colts Patent Firearms for the forgiveness...they're built to last!

Can you shoot +p on those
Perhaps? Still personally I would feel much more comfortable firing standard .38 Special 148 grain lead
target wad-cutters. Why put unnecessary wear and tear on an almost antiquated revolver?
I do not recommend +P ammo in these older Colt Positive Lock revolvers..a bit too potent..
