The Third Issue Officers Model Target is purpose-built for precision shooting, featuring a flat-top frame that complements its fully adjustable target sights. The micrometer adjustable square-notch rear sight pairs with a Patridge-style front blade on a screw-retained base for clear, repeatable sight alignment.
Its 6-inch tapered round barrel and fluted six-chamber cylinder maintain classic Colt lines. An exposed ejector rod with a knurled tip and no under-barrel shroud preserve the revolver’s balanced feel and straightforward operation.
Internal lockwork uses Colt Positive safety, and the DA/SA action is paired with a smooth trigger for controlled shooting. The checkered target spur hammer provides confident manipulation, while the checkered walnut grips with Colt medallions offer secure purchase.
Construction is all steel with a polished blued finish across the frame, cylinder, and receiver. Chambered in .38 Special with a six-round capacity, it reflects Colt’s Hartford, Connecticut craftsmanship and target-driven design.
