Dallas did have them then. Saw them in holsters and when a detective investigated a burglary at my mother's home, he wore a nice nickel M-15 with fake stag. I think it had an adapter, probably Pachmayr. He showed me the gun.
I was very young, but knew S&W's well from books by Keith and other authors.
I had just two handguns then, a Webley MK VI and a Colt M-1917. I'd recently gotten the Colt for Christmas. I was 16. I was 19 before I owned an S&W, a .455 MK II.
