FitzGerald Special
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fitz Gerald Special, "Fitz Special", or "Fitz Colt" is a snubnosed revolver concept that was pioneered by John Henry Fitzgerald (also known as "Fitz"), an employee of Colt Firearms from 1918 to 1944. It is generally believed that fewer than 200 such weapons were made by customizing various Colt revolver models; some historians contend that fewer than 40 were produced.[1] The Fitz Special was the precursor of the modern snubnosed revolver and specifically the prototype for the Colt Detective Special.
