I got a pretty nice Colt Police Positive .38 Special first issue recently. It has a 6" barrel , 80% blue, no scratches,bright fire bluing on hammer and trigger ,uncracked Rampant Colt Gutta Percha grips and a very tight action with no end play ect.
It was made in 1921 and I got it for $200 to keep my 1923 Police Positive Target .22WRF company.
My question is ; on both guns if you cock them slow the cylinder just barely won't carry up into index with the bolt dropping into the notch. When you touch the trigger it locks into place instantly however. Is this a design feature of this model or is the hand in need of a slight "stretching" ? There is not much wear on either gun, they shoot fine , but I wonder if this is normal on the early Police positives?
