I started in LE in the spring of 1971. We were issued revolvers that would get you killed, junk Colt Police Positives that were left over from the WWII ordance plants.

I purchased a Model 19 for a belt gun and a Model 36 for a ankle gun. I was the first officer to buy Banchi Speed strips and carry them in my dump pouches. The first qualification after I bought them, there was a lot of complaining that I had "cheated" by using them. My Chief Ranger as if I carried them on duty and when I told him "yes" he said no problem to use them in qualification.

I always found that my agency trained their officers in a Urban LE Setting and then deployed them to a Rural LE Setting. Cost several Rangers their lives.
