I have been told that there were not many 5.5" RMs. I, too. was fortunate to find one ordered by a Galveston, TX, police officer at about the same time.


Thanks Randy. Based on published numbers from Roy Jinks I guess approximately 140 5.5" RM's were manufactured, or about 2.5% of total production. The research on the gun itself started of course with the factory letter, then the documentation from the S and W Historical Foundation, and finally the information on Mr. Pratt came from Ancestry.com.
