I traded into a blued with imitation smoky pearl grips S&W Model 1950 Army .45acp in 1963 with the intention of carrying it as a service revolver.
I sent it back to S&W and had it nickeled plated. I also requested a new barrel be installed as the original barrel was pitted. The factory nickeled plated it but advised that replacement barrels were not available. THEN I discovered that the only service holsters available in my area were cross draw WITHOUT a safety strap. I gave the revolver to my father for a bedside weapon.
