Thanks. Same caliber, .38 Special.

If the caliber is 38 Special then the revolver is a Police Positive Special. The Police Positive revolvers had shorter cylinders and were chambered in 32 S&W Long and 38 S&W. The Police Positive Special had lengthened frames and cylinders to allow the 32-20 & 38 Special to be chambered. That's why I asked about the chamber, it looked longer but I wasn't sure.

You are correct, sir. I was sloppy with my usage.

It's nice to see people who appreciate what wonderful DA revolvers Colt made once upon a time. They really were something special.

I've had the beater Official Police for close to twenty years, and for some reason have always been able to shoot it really well either single or double action. Something just right about it. Shot the new one yesterday, and I can see that it's going to be the same with it.

PS The beater is going up for sale at the pawn shop down the street. Served me well, but no need for two identical guns, when one is in much nicer condition than the other.
