As a member of the New Jersey Highway Patrol, I carried a 6" Model 10 in a JayPee swivel holster. Some of our members were issued 6" Colt Official Police revolvers. When the Highway Patrol was merged into the New Jersey State Police in 1979 (from which I retired in 1991), I continued to carry my Model 10 until we transitioned to our H&K P7M8 semi-automatics (except for the few months in between that we carried 4" stainless steel Ruger Security Sixes which, in a word, sucked compared to my Smith).

During the 70's, I carried a personally-owned 4" Model 28 Highway Patrolman while off-duty. Living at the Jersey Shore, an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt over a t-shirt allowed me to carry concealed darn near anything I wanted. I preferred Bianchi holsters back in those days when John Bianchi still ran the outfit.
