This video provides an in-depth look at the Colt 'Fitz Special,' a highly customized revolver designed for quick draw and concealed carry. Originally based on Colt's Model 1917, the Fitz Special features a shortened barrel, a cut trigger guard, and a de-spurred hammer. The presenter highlights the historical context of these modifications, often performed by gunsmiths for police detectives and, notably, gangsters during the Prohibition era, earning it the 'gangsta gun' moniker. The example shown is exceptionally rare due to its factory-style engraving and custom grips, suggesting it was a high-end, bespoke piece.
