That was back in '64 that my Dad was trying to convince the MSP to at least move up to .357 Magnum from .38 Special. He was invited to the Captains meeting to discuss the pros and cons of the .41 Magnum or .357 Magnum; vs. the .38 Special. After his presentation all the Captains recommended getting the Combat Masterpiece .357 Magnum.
The Asst. Chief was not convinced though, and continued on with the order for Mod 10 4"HB and Western 200gr Lubaloy ammo.
I don't recall of hearing of any "serious social encounters" in the next 16 years so that worked out okay. Finally, in 1980 they were issued the Model 66 and turned in the Model 10's.
