USED Colt Detective Special .32 New Police Revolver – 2" Barrel, Nickel Finish, Wood Grips

This Colt Detective Special is a classic compact, six-shot revolver chambered in .32 Colt New Police, the cartridge marking visible on its 2-inch barrel. The Detective Special became one of Colt’s best-known small-frame revolvers, combining a short barrel and rounded grip with a six-round cylinder and traditional double-action/single-action operation. Historical references show that .32 New Police was offered during the model’s Second Series production.

This example features a bright nickel finish, fixed sights, exposed hammer, swing-out cylinder, and checkered wood grips with silver Colt medallions. The compact dimensions make it a distinctive collectible from the classic era of Colt revolver production.

The revolver is in very good vintage condition. The nickel finish remains bright but shows scattered scratches, light handling marks, and small areas of discoloration consistent with age and use. The grips appear complete and retain strong checkering.
