[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 2343799, member: 5391"] You are the exact opposite of me. If I had a Dick Special, I'd take the 2" off and install a 4". In case you didn't know it, the Police Positive Special was one of the models that Colt made the longest. They made it from 1907 to around 1993 or somewhere around in there. I think that Boston PD issued it, and it was authorized, IIRC, for off-duty and for non-uniformed on-duty use by NYPD and LAPD, and King County Washington issued one to my brother when he a patrolman. I have a PPS marked RHKP: Royal Hong Kong Police. It is in 38 S&W, (not 38 Special) and has the tropical finish and a lanyard ring in the bottom of the grip frame. According to the Colt serial number data, it was made in 1955. They are superb guns, I think. It's a pity that Colt no longer makes DA revolvers. [/QUOTE]
