When I came on the job in 1970, the Uniformed Division carried 4 inch Model 15 (blue), and had been for several years before 1970. The supervisors (Lt. and above) carried M19 with 2 1/2 inch bbl (blue). All agents carried the same M19. These guns stayed in service over 20 years until Sig autos were adopted. Ammo used was Super Vel 110 JHP early, later over to Federal 110 JHP. All ammo was .38 special, regardless of the issued weapon. Other weapons issued were the 870 pump loaded with #4 buck, and UZI sub with 9mm ball ammo. UZI were more trouble than they were worth. Lots of malfunctions, usually caused by the shooter.
