Positively 
Locked 
The Colt Positive Lock 
absolutely prevents accidental discharge because a 
solid bar of steel stands between., the- hammer and the cartridge T 
except when the trigger is pulled way back to fire a shot. At 
all other times it positively prevents the firing pin from com¬ 
ing in contact with the cartridge. (See illustration.) Test it in 
any way. the Colt Positive Lock absolutely prevents premature 
discharge. This was one of the points recognized by the United 
States Ordnance Board which recommended Colt Revolvers as 
superior to all others but it is only one feature of Colt excellentWTfe , 
accuracy and durability make it superior to any ofiier revttgpr in
