The custom grips he had were made by a policeman at the time from the LAPD Shooting Team, I believe his name was Hogue (corrected - John Hurst). Here is my pair that he made for me, in 1981. They need refinishing and a screw, anyone can help? Also in 80 my Training Officer (who came on in 1955) gave me his "speed loader" cause he wanted one of those new ones! I still have it along with his leather ticket book which I recently passed on to a new Officer...
