I posted in another thread that I had the opportunuty to trade my Shield 9 for a Model 60 (no dash) .38 spl, and holster. The deal was almost killed when I found out that the gun had been modified - it only shoots double action. However, once I was informed that the mod was done by an LAPD Armorer because the previous owner was LAPD, and they are NOT allowed to use single-action pistols, I went through with the deal.
Of course, I will be replacing the Shield a.s.a.p. but I am the happy owner of my first revolver!
Posted below are a few pictures, taken after giving it a good cleaning and its FIRST polishing.
