Description

The Colt New Service is a heavyweight classic from the early 20th century, built during an era when durability and authority mattered more than light weight or compact size. Chambered in .45 Colt, this large-frame, double-action design was trusted by military, law enforcement, and outdoorsmen alike for its strength and reliability.

Featuring a 5.5-inch barrel, this example balances historical authenticity with practical handling. The solid steel construction and long sight radius contribute to controllable shooting characteristics, while the traditional grip frame reflects Colt’s early revolver ergonomics. These revolvers were known for handling powerful cartridges with ease, making them a favorite for duty and field use in their day.

Whether added to a historical collection or displayed as a representative example of American industrial heritage, this revolver stands as a reminder of Colt’s role in shaping classic service sidearms.
