TNZ71,

Thanks for posting that. It caused me to smile. That gun has historical LAPD written all over it. That sure as heck was one great gun.

I began my career with a Model 15 and ended with an H&K USP .45

Law enforcement administrators can be slow to adapt at times. Bad guys have no lag time. They go for the good stuff right away. The Black Panthers were armed with superior firepower. LAPD cops had to confront them with Model 10's. Now most cop cars have sophisticated semiauto rifles in them.

But I do like to remember the days of my rookie youth when I thought I had it all figured out when in reality about all I had figured out correctly was S&W quality.
