Colt (in both the 32 and 38) added "Colt New Police" to avoid advertising the S&W developments in 32 and 38 ammunition. The Police Positive Special will fire the old .32 S&W cartridge as well as the .32 S&WLong. You can also fire the old .32 Colt and Long Colt Cartridges (don't expect great accuracy). Why? Because these rounds use the same .312-313 bullet that are of the full case diameter, heeled variety like the modern .22 rimfires. Firing them in 32 S&W Long chambers will over expand the smaller cases ripping them apart. The .32 S&W and S&W Long cases are too large to fit in the older Long Colt chambers.

What type of ammo for colt 32 police CTG pocket positive?

.32 S&W Long If that doesn't work you will need to compare the serial number and figure out the manufacturing year, there were minor variations depending on which decade it was made; and of course there are a handful with aftermarket modifications. But the 'police CTG' models should have no trouble using .32 S&W Long. It should also be interchangeable with other ammo of the same size such as: .32 Colt New Police .32 Colt Police Positive
