[QUOTE="jackinok09, post: 3980141, member: 51322"] Your correct on timeline basically. However, unless I have the only backwards running one Colts did not always run clockwise. My army /navy model built 1907 DOES run counter clockwise. Army special built 1920 has redesigned internals like most modern Colts and runs clockwise ( big selling point back in the day). Somewhat follows the switch to smokeless powder. Also my pocket positive runs clockwise built 1913, and my 1960 model police positive special (marked for Columbian police) runs clockwise. When colt did not get the major army contracts that sw did in first ww They actively went after police and civilian market hence all the police whatever's. I remember all the hoopla when they stopped making/marking the police positive special and renamed it. Everyone wanted one because it had been the standard for so many years and all. Of course they only changed the look and not much else but it caused quite a stir for awhile. [/QUOTE]
