bmg60, what are the years for the BPD guns? My father joined B.P.D. in 1960 and he said they had .22s to shoot at an indoor range to show you how a revolver worked. Then they issued you a re-tread revolver (Colt PP or S&W) from a cardboard box, a pressed paper holster (would rot and fall apart after a rainstorm) and 6 reloaded wadcutters which would go dead at the first hint of humidity or rain.
