Here's my Colt Police Positive in .38 S&W (not Special). An uncle owned and carried it as a plant guard at Bethleham Steel in Buffalo before WWll. After 3 years in the South Pacific with Navy CB's on garden spots like Guadalcanal, he returned to the same job. His son went to prison so the gun went to me after he passed on.

It's still a good shooter, very light on the hip and does right well for an ~100 year old cannon. That's 5-shot group BTW not six. Best Regards, Rod
