When I first hired on they gave me a Model 15, told me to come back in a couple weeks as they were expecting some Model 28s. I went for the trade a short time later. They furnished the gun and ammo but you could carry your own either Smith or Colt. I took the Model 28 but told them to keep their ammo. They were issuing 158 RN Lead 38s cast and loaded by prison trustees,.........no thanks.

I still have the Model 28, which they let me keep when I retired. If I was to go back into LE, it would be my choice for a carry duty weapon.
