Looking at 100 year old revolvers, I love to show my Colt 32 Police Positive. It shows a 1926 manufacture date. And it performs as new.

This was my dads survival vest weapon. He flew B52s during the Cold War. I don't know it's history before that. I just know he trusted it for his life. Good enough for me.

This revolver has been checked by a smith, and is in sound shape. The 32 S&W Long is a capable round.

These 'old' revolvers deserve our respect and care.
I love that it is a family Heirloom. I love the Colt action. It is very accurate. I will keep and shoot it forever. Until it needs to go to my son.

That's a fine vintage Colt and a 32, as well. Don't see many in 32 and, I agree, the 32 S&W Long is an under-rated cartridge. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I too would love to have a 5 1/2” SAA. Especially one chambered in .44 Special, but that’s too rich for my blood.

The only Colt I own at the moment is a King Cobra from the early 80's.
I'm the second owner and have had it since '84.
Wish I still had that little Frontier Scout 22. :oops:
