The agency won't let officers buy their duty weapons and objected to privately owned backups. The 686-6 spent the last week of work in the ultrasonic cleaner, and I carried my 4 inch S&W Model 65-1 in spite if the agency. My chief and our director both knew and didn't care.
The last person carrying a revolver is a dispatcher with what I believe is the last 4 inch, nickle-plated Model 10-5 in the inventory. She's had it a lo-o-o-o-o-ong time.
When I started, the armorer issued me a 4 inch Model 64 and a sack with eighteen 158 grain RNL .38 Special rounds. I never carried them, and they never got them back.
