Thanks for the comments, fellows.
To answer a few of your questions:
1. When we switched to pistols the Bureau tried to work a deal where Agents could purchase our revolvers but the deal was nixed at the last minute. Never learned exactly who was responsible for that decision. My last information was that the revolvers (and all that history) were destroyed.
2. During all our revolver training we used good old wadcutter. Our issued "carry" .38 Special ammo was a SWCLHP +P. We were allowed to carry .357 ammo in our speed-loaders or dump pouches which I recall as being SJSP. Carrying the .357 ammo was optional.
3. Ah yes, Silence of the Lambs. That was a really interesting movie based on the Behavioral Science Unit at Quantico. The Agents that worked there became know as "profilers" and did some incredible work to assist us "street Agents" in our investigations. Great movie.
4. All our revolvers were issued with the Pachmyer adapter and it really was a great asset. Wish they still made them! Been trying to find one for a round butt K frame but they are really scarce as you know.
Thanks again and best regards.
