This documentary delves into the Colt 1902 Philippine Model, a martial variant of Colt's double-action revolvers. It highlights the historical context, including its development from the Colt 1878 and its procurement for the Philippine Constabulary due to the inadequacy of .38 caliber against 'Juramentado' warriors. The video details significant modifications, such as a strengthened mainspring for reliable ignition with military primers, resulting in a heavy 28-pound trigger pull and a larger trigger guard.

The Colt Official Police, introduced in 1908, evolved from the New Army Revolver and became a dominant police sidearm through the mid-20th century. Primarily chambered in .38 Special and .22 Long Rifle, it was known for its robust design, capable of handling powerful loads like the .38/44 Heavy Duty. Production spanned from 1908 to 1969, with distinct pre- and post-WWII eras, and included specialized variants like the Colt Commando.
