It wasn’t a dog, either, but a nice 80 percent specimen from 1923. I offered it to my brother, my son, my wife, my neighbor and my neighbor’s grandmother. I had taken a nicer one in trade and decided to pass the old one on to someone who would appreciate it. These are all nice guns, but really, now. I have seen buyers at gun shows pass over cherry Police Positives to fondle things like H&R Model 929s, Iver Johnson Cadets and High Standard Sentinels. The Police Positive is the one glaring exception. This rule applies not only to Pythons and Diamondbacks but to real stinkeroos like the ill-fated Model 2000 All-American 9 mm semiauto, too. Put that name on a gun, and shazam! It’s an instant collectible. Normally, the word “Colt” is pure magic to collectors. The Colt Police Positive is the Rodney Dangerfield of revolvers.
