Talk:Colt Official Police

How does this weapon compare with the Smith & Wesson model 10? I don't want to instigate a brawl between supporters of each, I was just wondering what the pros and cons of each weapon are since these two seemed to be the most common police weapons for decades. -Anonymous

Just a quick Question

What caliber does the Official Police use? None of the IMFDB pics say. User:jackbel

By far the most common was .38 Special, and Colt said they could shoot the .38 High Velocity load for the S&W .38/44 as well. Other than that, .22LR, .32-20 and .41 Long Colt in the States, and a very small run for the British Army in .38/200 (AKA .38 S&W) in 1940. - Nyles
