Colt Commando Revolver – Serial 2285

Brands: Colt
Caliber: .38 Spl

This Colt Commando Revolver, serial number 2285, is a wartime classic known for its rugged parkerized finish and dependable double-action performance. With its rich patina and military pedigree, it stands as both a functional sidearm and a powerful relic of American history.

Description

There’s something quietly powerful about a sidearm that’s been through it all. This Colt Commando Revolver, bearing serial number 2285, isn’t just a weapon—it’s a time capsule from the gritty days of World War II. Designed for rugged field use, this model became a trusted companion for law enforcement and military personnel alike. And it wasn’t for show—its parkerized finish, a matte grayish-black coating, was chosen for pure function: corrosion resistance and battlefield durability. No shine, no frills—just business.

Built on the bones of the Police Positive Special, the Commando kept Colt’s signature reliability intact while dialing up the toughness. The revolver’s double-action system is smooth and dependable—exactly what you’d want in a moment when hesitation isn’t an option. Its frame feels solid in the hand, and the grip? Classic wood, worn just enough to remind you this isn’t a reissue or replica. That rich patina? It earned that the hard way.

You can tell this wasn’t made for display cases. It was made for holsters, for long shifts, for rainy nights, and muddy boots. Even so, it’s got an understated beauty—the kind that only purpose-built tools possess. No elaborate engraving, no flashy hardware. Just clean lines, honest steel, and craftsmanship that’s aged with dignity.

But what really makes the Commando special isn’t just how it looks or handles—it’s what it represents. This revolver is a reminder of a time when form always followed function, when tools were built to last, and when every scratch told a story. For collectors, it’s a piece of history that fits in your hand. For historians, it’s a symbol of wartime ingenuity and the everyday heroism of those who carried it.

In short: this isn’t just a revolver—it’s a survivor. And it deserves a place in a collection that values stories as much as steel.
