I didn't know AR had such cool guns.
I'll add them to my LE-gun radar since I was born there.

Not State Troopers, but revolvers from a state law enforcement agency.

To add to Dr. C's photos above, here is a North Carolina State Highway Patrol 66-1 shipped in 1980. Thanks to him, I learned that these replaced Model 19 nickel 4" barrel guns, and preceded 686's during the late 1970s/early 1980s period. This is not a commemorative; it is likely a retirement gun, a never issued spare, or was issued to a trooper who for whatever reason never carried it, as it is in pristine condition. It came in the same kind of dark-finished wood presentation box as the ones shown by Dr. C above.

Not an issued sidearm, but 40 plus years ago I knowed an Alabama State Trooper whose personal revolver was a nickel 6 1/2" M29. He also carried a 14" M97 Winchester. That barrel came right to the end of the magazine tube.

I have a pair of 66 no-dash ISP revolvers from the Hoosier state.

I've got one I've never identified - A 686 4" with "WHP089724" stamped on it. Ser# AAL-10xx, so an earlier one, I think.
Ring a bell with anyone?

Michigan State Police
Michigan State Police issued these Model 66 .357 Mags to Troopers who shot Distinguished Expert. Department regulations mandated .38 Special ammo only however.
After issuing about 80 .357 Mags, they were afraid Troopers would try to carry .357 rounds in them so they started to issue the .38 Spec model 67-1
I bought the Model 66 from the widow of our range commander after he passed away. The model 67-1 was given to me by my daughter who retired from the Michigan State Police as a 1st Lieutenant.

It just seems an issued 686 is more respectable choice for law an order over the standard auto loader, but that’s probably just my bias towards revolvers.
