The Colt 1862 Police belongs to the later generation of Colt percussion revolvers, a compact five-shot design that found its place with police officers, gamblers, and gentlemen who appreciated a revolver that was easier to carry than the larger Colt models. This pair follows that early Colt look in smooth natural bone, giving the Uberti 1862 Police a distinctly old-time finish without covering up the character of the material.
The bone has been shaped and polished smooth, leaving the natural variation of the material plainly visible. Look closely and you’ll find changes in color, grain, pores, and small markings from one area to the next. That is what makes a natural bone grip different from a molded material. It has its own character, and this particular pair was chosen because of the way those natural features come together.

Smooth bone was a handsome way to dress a working revolver, and it has remained popular because it lets the shape of the original grip do the talking. There is no need to cover the bone with an elaborate pattern when the material itself has this much character.
We chose this pair for the natural markings and warm variation in the bone. It has the sort of look that becomes more interesting the longer you handle it, while staying true to the simple lines of the 1862 Police.
