[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 791353, member: 5391"] Even though it is no longer manufactured, my favorite small-frame revolver is the old Colt Police Positive Special. It is the same frame as the Detective Special. The late Chic Gaylord was fond of it as well, calling it the 'most practical personal defense weapon for all-around use'. Here is a link with a picture. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Colt_Police_Postive_Special.jpg[/url] Just a guess but from the sharp corners of the grip frame, I'd say that this particular gun dates from the mid-1950's. My PPS from the Royal Hong Kong Police is dated 1955 and its' grip has the sharp corners as well. I also have one in 32 S&W Long dated from 1958 that has the rounded grip frame. [/QUOTE]
