For some reason the wikipedia article on this weapon only lists it as comming chambered in .32S&W, .38S&W, .32 Long Colt, and .38 Long Colt, not .38 special. Is Wikipedia wrong or are the weapons pictured on the main page rechambered for .38 special?
- The .38 Special version of the Police Positive was the Police Positive Special, which had a slightly longer frame and cylinder - it was also available in .32-20. Colt differentiates between the two, IMFDB hasn't - too hard to tell the difference. -Nyles
