Great little guns. The GBI issued these in 1986 and took up our 2 1/2 inch model 66s. (we bought them back). WE had to load them with THEN state of the art 115 gr Winchester Silvertips. After the FBI Miami shootout, we went to 147 gr subsonic Winchester stuff. I heard that was weak stuff. Never had to use it, thank goodness. We seldom wore guns then. Kept them under the seat or in the trunk.
GBI then went to the 6906 in 1989. Kept the Smiths until about 2003, when they finally gave in and went to a plastic 40
