This is probably and oddball question, but what the heck. I have never disassembled a revolver. I just watched a pretty good video about disassembling a 1920‘s Police Positive and it seemed fairly straight forward, but I think I might look for an old beater revolver just to practice on before I ever think about disassembling my other Colts. So, if you were looking for an old beater revolver that would be fairly indicative of other Colts, what model would you look for?

Other then the Brownell's Magna-Tip driver bits and handles, the only specialized Colt tools are needed to fully disassemble old style cylinder assemblies.
The crane bushing wrench is necessary for disassembly and nothing else will do....

The second tool is a wrench used to unscrew old style cylinders.
These are no longer available so you make your own from brass or steel plate.
This is simply a tool that has a hexagonal hole that fits down over the ejector ratchet and is used to unscrew the ejector.
Some people use a socket from a socket set that fits over the ratchet but it's better to have an actual ejector wrench.
