I find the customized-for-carry working mans revolvers from that era to be fascinating. My granddad was a cop from mid 30s to the end of WWII, and my dad began his LE career in the early 60s. My granddad's mentioned that his S&W .44 Special had received a trigger job. Sadly, he sold it at some point, carrying a department issue instead until he left LE. My dad's wheel guns were usually modified with Tyler-grips until Pachmyers came on the market, action jobs, and paint or nail polish von the front sight ramps. I think that was pretty much the norm for those who wanted something more than a stock revolver during the 60s-70s. I think a collection of old LE revolvers in modified form is awesome.
