Is the Colt Banker Special built on the same frame as the Detective Special? If so what is the difference between the two.

The Bankers Special was built on the short Police Positive frame. It could be purchased in either .38 Colt New Police (same as .38 S&W) or .22 LR.
The Detective Special was made using the longer Police Positive Special frame, and normally came as a .38 Special, although following World War Two, .32 Colt New Police (same as .32 S&W Long) was added to the list.
The only real difference was the length of the frame and cylinder. The Bankers Special was discontinued following World War Two.
