I was lucky enough to buy this pair (a 19-3 and 28-2/HP) from the armory a few years ago. I came along after the transition so I didn't carry these but jumped at the chance to take these poor orphans home.

They came from the Mequon (WI) PD and the 28 may have been carried as late as 1996 when the Berettas replaced the assorted S&W revolvers (and a few stray 1911s). New hires had 686s after the 28 was discontinued but if you had a 28 you kept it as long as it worked. These made a trip to S&W last year and are now nice and tight again. I learned to shoot pistol as a volunteer at this dept in college and may have used this 19 to learn. The model 19/66 are still my favorite handguns.

Oops, that's an 'off brand.' Forgive me, it was my first at Mequon & I couldn't help myself.
Yes, that says Milwaukee on this side. (Mequon is on the other side.) I spent a couple years in Milw. first but they wanted their Glock back when I left. Oh well, I couldn't have put custom grips on it anyway.
