Memory Alpha

A police special is a specific type of projectile weapon, a Human weapon used primarily in the 20th century.

Hikaru Sulu unwittingly imagined one into existence while on the Shore Leave Planet, and claimed to have always wanted one for his collection. Captain James Kirk later used the same pistol to slay the Black Knight as it started to make a charge for him and Spock. (TOS: "Shore Leave")

Interestingly enough, Sulu fired 4 shots with the revolver, followed by 3 firedby Kirk, making a total of seven shots from this "six-shooter".
