This thread is a pronounced danger to my financial resources.

I love the Chief Special. It was the quintessential cop second gun & off-duty gun for many decades. When I think Chief Special I think cop.

For personal reasons, I've never carried a second gun. I had resolved that a bad guy wasn't going to get my duty weapon. But I have carried a Model 60 off-duty for a long, long time.

I'm old school. When I got into the bad guy catching business, it was perfunctory to buy a Chief after being sworn in. My guess is new model cops are going with lightweight semis. I can't blame them. Technology has improved, but I still love The Chief!!! It has law enforcement all over it.
