The Police Positive was introduced in 1907 as an improvement of the Colt New Police using upgraded lockwork and an internal hammer block safety, dubbed the "Positive Lock" by Colt, who then renamed the revolver to match. In 1908, Colt modified the design slightly with a longer cylinder and strengthened frame to use the then-new .38 Special and .32-20, dubbed the Police Positive Special.

A snub nosed version was introduced in 1927, dubbed the Colt Detective Special.

In 1977, Colt released the Fourth Issue of the Police Positive Special, featuring a heavy barrel and ejector rod shroud styled after the Colt Trooper Mk III.

The standard Police Positive was discontinued in 1947. The Police Positive Special was manufactured until 1995, becoming Colt's most produced model at over 750,000 units.
