[Tanaka] Colt Detective Special 2-inch “R-model” HW Model Gun

In 1907, Colt released the Police Positive, a masterpiece revolver incorporating a "positive lock" that blocks the hammer when the trigger is not pulled. Its popularity as a revolver for police officers led to the addition of a variation, a model with a shortened 2-inch barrel and chambered for the .38spl cartridge, named the Detective Special. "Detective" refers to a detective or detective, and as its name suggests, it became a favorite among plainclothes detectives and became widely recognized as a representative model of snubnose revolvers.

This time, the Detective Special, which was sold as a model gun by Tanaka, has undergone extensive modifications and has been reborn as the "R-model" with improved reproducibility, durability, and operability.
The cylinder lockup problem (a change in the timing between the trigger movement and the cylinder rotation) that was an issue with previous models due to the faithful reproduction of the Colt mechanism has been addressed by changing the rebound lever to a two-piece structure made of a sturdy pressed and die-cast material, preventing deviations in operation timing over the long term.
In addition, the grip is equipped with a pressed weight, and the exterior faithfully reproduces the details of the 2nd type from 1946 onwards, which is known as the Colt Detective, with anti-reflective grooves on the front and rear sights and anti-slip serrations on the trigger.
The fit of other internal parts has also been revised, making this a model that allows you to experience the mechanism of the Colt double-action revolver that has been around for over 100 years.

Colt has made a significant contribution to the evolution of revolvers, and the Detective Special is considered a masterpiece of compact double-action revolvers. This is a must-have item for not only model gun enthusiasts, but anyone. (Fires with 7mm cap powder. Includes six .38 Special firing cartridges.)

▲The anti-reflection serrations on the top of the frame and rear sight from the R-model have also been reproduced.
