I recently visited the NYPD one-three precinct where I was vouchering my off duty (heading to a venue for a show in the City- you know, GUN FREE ZONES). The desk sergeant was an old timer, who’s gold sergeant shield was worn down to silver. Anyhow, he was carrying an old Model 10 in his original vintage Jay Pee holster, along with HKS speedloaders. The Magnas were well worn, as was the grip finish and the leather gear.

What a sight! Great guy, said he was on the job for about 33 years (a real dinosaur by NYPD standards). Said he was going to the range the following week and was being forced to retire the M10 for a 9mm pistol. To say the least, he was very melancholy about the transition. Honestly, I was too...
