I carried an NYPD NY-1 Model 64 DAO. Most guys ditched the wood Magna stocks immediately and the Pachmayr’s were the only ones authorized since they had the little window on the bottom of the grip so the serial number could be read at qualification. The Nyclad 158 grain +P was the duty round for by the 4” and 2” off duty guns. I believe the 135 grain was eventually chosen for the off duty guns but I don’t remember. The 130 grain WWB ammo was definitely never an issued round. That Walmart plinking ammo.

I envy you that 67, well done Sir.
Thanks for the history on those Pachmayrs, I didn't realize that they where the only authorized aftermarket. I was never on the Job and I never looked at the patrol guide. All I knew was that they came on the gun and where really comfortable.
I believe NYPD went to the Speer Gold Dot 135 +Ps as their service round before dropping revolvers. There might have been a different round between the Nyclads and the 135 gold dots.
