This video delves into the history and modifications of the Fitz Special, a custom revolver package popularized by John Henry Fitzgerald around 1926. Fitzgerald, a former NYPD officer, competitive shooter, and Colt representative, devised this configuration for enhanced concealed carry. The modifications, including a shortened barrel, bobbed hammer, and bobbed trigger guard, aimed to prevent snagging on clothing. While some of these modifications have become standard on modern concealed carry revolvers, the complete removal of the trigger guard remains a distinctive and less common feature due to contemporary safety and legal considerations.
