Colt Pocket Positive pistol
A friend of mine asked me to research this pistol for him. It is a Colt Pocket Positve .32 caliber. In my research I determined that it was made in 1925. There is a small chip missing from the corner of the left side grip caused when he dropped it.
I thought I would post these pictures of it just for general interest.

Cool pistol. The grip is hard rubber and will break when hit hard....as your friend found out. The .32 Police, I have been told, in reality .32 SW Long. Some dispute this but I have read Cold didn't want to make a gun which uses the SW .32 long so they called it .32 Police.

You are right Clint. The only difference between the Colt .32 Police and the S&W .32 Long is the shape of the bullet. The S&W .32 had a round nosed bullet while the Colt had a small flat nose on the bullet. The two rounds are interchangeable. The reason Colt did this was to avoid putting S&W on their guns.

Very sweet Pistol indeed! Thanks for sharing! I am still on the hunt for my first Colt. I have owned a Colt Lightning Rifle, but the pistols still get away from me. Guess I am waiting for one to fall in my lap! lol
