I wanted my own Model 15 but they were a little hard to find in the late 60's. At last I found a new one in Lubbock, TX in late 1970 just before leaving active duty. Price $108.00 at Furr's. Fortunately, both are still with me. But I am still looking for the right USAF marked one.
My brother was an AP/SP in the early to mid 70's. He is very sure that at some time he carried a Model 14 in 4 inch. If any one else remembers carrying a Model 14, please let us know.
Thanks and enjoy that really nice 15.

I knew an officer at Lowry AFB in Denver who carried a Model 14, but I'm pretty sure that it was his own gun. It had the usual six-inch barrel. All the M-15's I saw were the usual four-inch.
Your friend could have seen a Model 15 that was mismarked, using a Model 14 frame. Otherwise, I suspect that his memory is off a digit.
