The Colt Detective Special is a carbon steel framed double-action short-barreled revolver and is an example of a class of firearms known to gun enthusiasts as snubnosed snubbies or belly guns. As the name Detective Special suggests this model revolver was used as a concealed weapon by plainclothes police detectives.Introduced in 1927 the Detective Special was one of the first short-barreled revolvers produced with a modern swing-out frame.
