Colt’s “Dick Special” Detective Special Revolver

by Mike Searson | Sep 26, 2018 | Guns and Accessories

Back in 1927 when Colt made firearms that people wanted and could actually buy, the company rolled out a new revolver based on their popular Police Positive Model.

Colt dropped it from their lineup in 1992, just in time for concealed carry reform to start taking hold in America.
