Howdy , does anyone have a Nevada State Police / Highway Patrol .41 magnum ???

I am trying to find out the serial number range ,were they blue or nickel ??
many thanks, robbt

I work with a retired Nevada Trooper. I will find out......

hi Regis , can you ask if the Dept marked stamped dept markings on there revolvers ??
many thanks, happy holidays. robbt

I'm surprised to hear the Nevada HP carried .41 mag. That's the first state I've heard of that carried a larger caliber than 357 mag.

When I was a kid back in the early 70's my Uncle was a Nevada State Trooper. He had a 41 but I'm not sure if it was his duty gun or if it was one he confiscated from some one he arrested and sent to prison.

hi guys , happy new year , this is all the info I know the Nevada HP issued " S" prefix model 58 , so issue was before 1969 when S&W began the " N" perfix, I would really like to know the serial number range and whether the guns where blue or nickel , any ideas ??

"That's the first state I've heard of that carried a larger caliber than 357 mag."

Alabama State Troopers were issued .357 revolvers in the 1960s and 1970s. A trooper I knew carried a Trooper Mark III Border Patrol revolver.

However, they could carry their own revolvers if they wanted to. Another trooper I knew carried a 6 1/2 M29 .44 Magnum.

I think it was San Francisco CA, San Antonio TX, and Louisville KY that also adopted the 41 mag. Correct me if I am wrong, because I would like to know

New York state troopers once carried .45 Colt New Services, as did the RCMP from 1904-1953, if I recall the dates right.
