I was issued a new in-the-box 67 in the academy when I joined the LAPD in '84. It had a solid front sight (no red ramp), no barrel pin and a smooth-faced trigger. Like all LAPD issued revolvers back then, it was DA-only. I carried it for my first 2 years on the job in a Hoyt breakfront and felt very well-armed. Bought it when I retired for $81 and change, still minty. It goes shooting with me at least monthly.

Great article!
