They basicly go back in time and get caught by Air Force security .

Weird thing is they are wearing white plastic imitation stag handled Model 10's turned backwards on their left hips.

Those "crossdraw holsters, "stag" grips, ascots and berets were all standard uniforms of the day of the SAC Honor Guard at SAC HQ in Offutt AFB, NE. Guess Rodenberry thought they'd look good on his show.
I was a USAF SP for 14 years before I retrained into training and Ed. The Model 15 was extremely accurate. I shot on the PACAF Rifle/Pistol Team in 1980, which for the revolver was a modified PPC course.
I too was able to earn a Bronze Leg Match Medal years later in Minot.
Some of the M-15's in service had TT/TH, some did not. Some of the M-15's were polished blue, but as they were turned in for arsenal refitting, they came back parkerized.
Does anybody else remember the PGU-12 ammo? We were issued that in the mid 70-s...the bullet was set deep into the cartridge case, causing a compressed loading. Don't know why. SOMEBODY thought it was a good idea.
