[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 2342882, member: 5391"] Your memory serves you correctly here. I have an OP and a Police Positive Special, and have shot the Police Positive. In fact, the DS is simply a 2" version (a 3" in rare instances) of the PPS. The DS came out in 1927 and was a derivative of the old Fitz Special. The PPS was introduced in 1907 and is a slightly larger frame version of the Police Positive, which was first made a couple of years or so earlier. Colt made other models of these guns over the years and the various model names and frame sizes can be somewhat confusing. During the 1950's, Colt finally settled on just two frame sizes for their DA revolver line, making several different models in each size, and continued this until they got the MK III line going in the late 1960's. Personally, I like their DA wheelguns and I have a sample or two of them. [/QUOTE]
