About Real Colt Detective Special Revolver

The Colt Detective Special is a classic American snubnosed revolver, first introduced in 1927. It was the first modern, short-barreled revolver with a swing-out cylinder designed for a powerful cartridge like the .38 Special, making it a pioneering firearm for concealed carry.
This six-shot, double-action revolver was built on Colt's "D" frame, making it larger than a five-shot Smith & Wesson J-frame but still very compact. It was a favorite among plainclothes detectives and for decades was considered the "gold standard" of defensive revolvers.

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

Tanaka has inherited the legacy of this century-old revolver, creating a flawless replica that honors the original design. Every detail has been carefully reproduced, from the finely engraved markings on the barrel, frame, and grip to the overall faithful representation of the classic firearm.
Although constructed from polymer, this model benefits from Japan?s unique heavyweight manufacturing technique. This advanced process gives the polymer components the substantial feel and appearance of real metal, achieving a remarkable level of realism in both weight and texture.
The Tanaka Colt Detective Special 2-inch 2nd Issue R-model with Steel Finish features a polymer heavyweight barrel, frame, and cylinder?the latter capable of holding six dummy cartridges. Included in the set are six dummy bullets, along with polymer grip covers that mimic the look and feel of wood, complete with a traditional diamond pattern and a sleek silver emblem. Additional metal components such as the trigger, hammer, cylinder release, and steel ejector rod further enhance the model?s authenticity.
As a dummy gun, it is completely incapable of firing, making it a safe and desirable item for collectors. Yet it retains full operational realism: the double-action mechanism allows the hammer to be cocked and released with each trigger pull, while the cylinder rotates accordingly, producing a satisfying clicking sound that evokes the tactile experience of handling a true revolver.
Beyond collecting, this model is well-suited for use as a film prop. Its compact size makes it easy to carry and conceal, much like the original Colt Detective Special a sidearm favored by detectives and undercover agents for over a century. Holding this model invites you to step into the role of a classic American investigator, capturing a timeless sense of duty and style.
