About Real Revolver

The Colt Detective Special is a landmark American revolver, first introduced in 1927. It was designed to meet the specific needs of plainclothes detectives and undercover agents, offering a powerful and reliable sidearm in a highly concealable package.
Its most defining features are its compact 2-inch barrel and its six-round cylinder, chambered for the effective .38 Special cartridge. This six-shot capacity gave it a distinct advantage over its main competitor, the five-shot Smith & Wesson Chiefs Special, making it a preferred choice for those who valued an extra round of firepower.
Built on Colt's robust and slightly larger "D-Frame," the Detective Special was renowned for its smooth double-action trigger and exceptional craftsmanship. It became a cultural icon, appearing in countless films and television shows throughout the mid-20th century, solidifying its image as the quintessential detective's gun.
While production ended in the 1990s, the Colt Detective Special remains a highly sought-after collector's item, celebrated for its pioneering role in defining the modern snub-nose revolver.

About Tanaka Colt Detective Special 2inch 2nd Issue R-model Nickel Model Gun

Tanaka has faithfully recreated this classic century-old revolver with exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship. The Tanaka Colt Detective Special 2-inch 2nd Issue R-model Nickel Model Gun is primarily constructed from polymer, yet it conveys a surprisingly realistic metallic feel, enhanced by a gleaming silver finish that gives it a brilliant shine.
The model features a polymer frame, outer barrel, and cylinder, all adorned with authentic markings similar to those found on the real firearm, elevating its realism to an impressive level. It comes with polymer wood-textured pistol grips that showcase a classic diamond pattern and are accented with a silver emblem. Additionally, the revolver includes six dummy cartridges and several metal components?such as the trigger, hammer, cylinder release, and a steel ejector rod?which further enhance its authentic appeal.
Although this is a model gun incapable of firing live ammunition or BB bullets, it retains the functional mechanics of a real revolver. Each pull of the trigger causes the hammer to draw back and strike forward, producing a distinct metallic clicking sound, while the cylinder rotates accordingly. This highly safe and non-firing revolver is an excellent choice for antique firearm collectors and can also be used as a realistic movie prop. Holding this revolver allows you to step into the role of a 1920s or 30s American detective or reenact the classic police characters from old Hollywood films.
