What a great (5 year old!!) thread! Thanks to 1/74SIS and all those who added to it then and more recently.
(St.Regis, if you're still out there, looks like we were co-workers at ACC in the mid-90s. I was West side patrol; initially swing shift, then days).
After a rookie year when I was issued & required to carry a 681 (not enough 4006s to go around), I started carrying a personally owned 4506-1 for the remainder of my time. Loved that gun and carried it on and off duty. Thankfully, I never needed to use it, but it was very reliable putting holes in paper.
After a career change and selling off my guns, I got the bug to reacquire some handguns. Picked up a used pre-rail 6+1 4513TSW, which has been great after changing out the recoil springs. It makes a great carry gun and shoots as well as the 4506.
I still enjoy a good revolver (and a G30s), but can't bring myself to sell the 4513TSW even though it was supposed to help replenish funds after buying a new to me 627.
