They were nice guns, especially compared to the "US Navy" marked Victory Models that were still in circulation in the mid-60s. I took some handloads over to SEA with me--12 grains of Unique and a cast 150 grain SWCHP to load in the M15. I would load up the 130 grain FMJ ball ammo at guardmount and later on post swap in those Keith loads.

I had a nice ex-police one that I put Spegels on for a while but my son pried it away from me. I need another.

Concur that we need a USAF commemorative but S&W would probably make them with MIM parts, a lock, and a Liddy light.
