These are some of the S&W revolvers I have that were issued to State Troopers from around the country. The first are Kentucky State Police 686, 66-3 2 1/2, 60 and 649. They did a really nice job of engraving the plate on the right side.

Any of those for sale

I love both State Trooper duty weapons and commemoratives. I will share those of mine that are already photographed.

Starting with my favorite, the 6" RISP model 66 with the lanyard loop. Less than 200 were made before the RISP went to a 4" barrel. This one is unissued. I almost did not buy this one, the asking price was way too high. Then I saw that the serial number was my birthday. Obviously GOD was telling me to get it.




This is an un-issued Oklahoma Highway Patrol S&W 4" Model 65 revolver. This one was manufactured in 1974.




This is a West Virginia State Police Model 686. This one was manufactured in 1987




This is an un-issued California Highway Patrol "CHiPs" S&W 6" Model 68 revolver. This model 68 was produced in 1976.




1973 was the 40th anniversary for the Ohio Highway Patrol. In honor of the event a 4" blue Smith & Wesson Model 10 was produced. 2,025 were produced.




The Missouri State Highway Patrol produced this 4" Model 66 Smith & Wesson for their 50th anniversary in 1981. 900 were manufactured.




For it's 60th anniversary the Washington State Patrol had S&W produce this cased 6" Model 28 revolver. Only 762 were produced.




These Kansas Highway Patrol model 586s are from a run of 338 produced for the 50th anniversary in 1987. Probably one of the best badge inlays I have seen

Looking forward to seeing the rest of them

Here are two of my Smith & Wesson Trooper stamped revolvers. The 681 was the first one I was issued in the New York State Police and the 28-2 was the prior one. Both are stamped NYSP under the cylinder.

That is a nice way to collect revolvers. Some beautiful guns there with a unique pedigree. How did you guys locate these former police issued weapons?

Montana Highway Patrol Comm. Issued in 1979 with a total of 213 manufactured. Shipped in the standard two piece box.



Another shot of the MHP patch on the sideplate.



The 28-2 I carried on the MHP for several years, before we went to 5903's. Wearing a set of smooth Targets, not the butt ugly pach's we were all stuck carrying.

Here’s a Model 66-1 Arizona Highway Patrol 50 year commemorative (1931 to 1981) that I got a few months ago. It’s interesting that the commemorative period is to 1981 but the serial number puts it in 1979.

No South Carolina Highway Patrol revolvers?

Here is mine a Washington State Patrol a post war, transition 1926 3rd Model .44 Special. Unfortunately when decommissioned the Washington State Patrol stamps were ground off the back strap. On mine you can just make out the first three letters. It sure is a great shooter.

Ankona, I've been doing this for about 10 years now. A lot of times I just keep looking, everyday! A lot of these I have been able to get ahold of the Troopers who used to carry them and I have them tell me its story. Some of been nice enough to write me out something about the time they carried it.

Thank you for the reply. You just gave me an idea.

A 686 issued as a duty weapon issued by Iowa State Patrol


I bought the 586, a model 13 a model 66 and the model 686 from same trooper after he retired.

Ankona, what idea would that be? I'm trying to get each state. Some I can't, like Hawaii, and I've never seen some marked by a few.

Private Message sent.

thomp45acp, I tried to send you a PM, but your mailbox is full...

BC38 try again.

This is a great thread. Some really sweet guns here. What a great idea for a collection.

A model 66 Washington Sate Patrol marked. I have a model 28 and a 38/44 as well. Also a Beretta 92, a Rem 870 and a consecutive numbered pair of Winchester model 12 riot guns.

jackvs1,

Does that M28 have a white outline rear sight? It appears to have the .312 smooth trigger, correct?

My model 28?

Missouri State Highway Patrol issue revolver, 38 Special Combat Masterpiece with 5 inch barrel.

The revolver is shown with issue swivel holster, double ammunition pouch, handcuff case, and Sam Browne Belt with shoulder strap. Note that the Dee rings are affixed not to the belt, or to removable keepers, but to the belt tunnel on the holster itself. Leather was made by Dehner's of Omaha, who refers to it as the "Missouri Style." All holsters for MSHP were made to hold a 5 inch revolver even though MSHP switched to the 4 inch Combat Masterpiece in 1954. This simplified stocking requirements for replacement holsters. Weapon belongs to a friend, who allowed it to be photographed for an article written by myself, fellow SWCA member Russ, known on this forum as "Linde," and Roy Jinks.

Ahhhh that's cool.........back in the good old days when a State Patrol issued .44 Specials

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE POSTED THIS SUGGESTION. IMHO, WE NEED A MASTER "LIKE" BUTTON, FOR THREADS LIKE THIS. I LIKED EACH AND EVERY POST AND EACH AND EVERY PICTURE IN THIS THREAD. THE FIREARMS ARE FANTASTIC, AND THE PHOTOS ARE GORGEOUS…..

Man, that's a bummer.

I guess that renders it worthless, so I'll be happy to take if off your hands. Least I could do for a forum member

I grew up in Wolf & Klar country, so a 3rd model would hold some extra meaning for me. But alas, I should have thought of that 30 years ago, when at least some were still below four figures.

Very interesting thread
Thanks

I know this is an old thread, but here is a West Virginia State Police S&W model 686 that I just picked up yesterday.

I have a Connecticut State Police blued model 66. pretty tough to find, but I see one other posted above. Duty weapons and commemorative are vastly different IMHO.

There is currently a S&W MISSOURI HIGHWAY PATROL COLLECTORS SET 1931-1981 NIB on Missouri Armslist.

It is not my listing. Just posting this to enrich the thread.

These P&R 66s & 66-1s are from New Hampshire State Police, Wyoming Highway Patrol, Minnesota State Patrol and the Ga. Alcohol & Tobacco Taxation Unit (Dept. of Revenue):



Here is a 1941 vintage M&P that letters to the Vermont State Police:



....the .38-44s are from Arkansas State Police & Colorado State Patrol. The 686 is from the Iowa State Police. The 4" 65 is from the Mass Registry -Motor Vehicles which merged into the state police. The 3" 65 is a Ga. Parole Board gun.



More to follow ......

Best,
Charles

Do you have a date on the Mn trooper? Reason i ask is being a Mn boy myself I know it's been a long time since anyone has used the Minn abbreviation.

Mine is from 1979.

Great thread. Here are some crummy cell phone pics of a few Arkansas State Police revolvers. The first is a 38/44 HD from the 1950s, the other is a Model 60 presumably carried by plainclothes officers in the 1980s. I need to add the ASP Model 66 to my collection if anyone has a source. There is also supposedly a Model 19 example from rare use in the 1970s. I'm a buyer for any Arkansas examples, either new arrivals or duplicates to my own collection...plus I have friends looking.

My Highway patrol guns are both 3 inch model 65s. A 65-2 from Massachusettes State Police manufactured in 1981 and a 65-3 for detectives in the NYPD manufactured in 1983. The MSP gun has the lettering down the back strap and the NYPD lettering is under the cylinder. Both guns in excellent shape. I also have a 64-1 chambered in .357 that I am convinced was one of the 750 made for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. It has no markings and the SCSW states thats how they shipped. This gun was later to become the model 65.
I don't have pics of them or I would post them. If you know more about the Oklahoma Highway patrol gun please share. I have seen them with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol logo, but I believe those are the commemoratives.
Thanks
Hank

..........HDs. This one from the 50s also. The Arkansas State Rangers were formed in 1935, and were issued Colt 1911A1s in .38 Super. In 1937 they were designated the Arkansas State Police, and their strength was increased from the original 13 men to 50. They transitioned to the Heavy Duty then. The first versions were also roll marked on the back strap with "Arkansas State Police". They were 5 inch blued versions with a lanyard ring.
The HD remained the issue sidearm until around 1968.
Most of the survivors have been in the bluing tank a lot.

Sept. 2, 2017 update: This 65-3 3" is on its way to me...

Florida Highway Patrol 27-2 5" nickel. 500 were issued to troopers. Glad to see the upper brass appreciated the best S&W had to offer.

This isn't a duty weapon but it was sold to me with the story that it was used for training by the Oklahoma State Police. (I know, buy the gun - not the story.) This Model 14 shoots very well (as most of them do) but the kicker was after I had made the deal, the seller brings out these beautiful target grips that he said were included in the price.

I have one, a putative Dallas Police Department Trade (no LEO markings) in:

I have a Model 4506 California LEO turn in

From a retired MSP trooper's records District 2300, which is SW Minn., received the Model 66s to replace the 4" HB Model 10s on Feb 19, 1980.

Their personal Model 66s, the ones with the MSP shield on the sideplate, were ordered in May 1976, $130 was paid at that time and an additional $19.40 in Aug. 1976. On about June 8, 1979 they were delivered.

Dec. 1, 1982 the Model 681 was issued and all Model 66s turned in.

In the early 1960s 4" HB Model 10s were issued replacing the 6" .38 M&Ps and the few remaining 38/44s.
