Yes. Remember that the DSC didn‘t issue any revolvers, they sold them. Before and after the DSC Revolver Program period, NYCPD officers bought from one of the police suppliers or the department. During the war, the commercial suppliers didn‘t have any guns to sell, so new officers had to get guns which the department, as an authorized recipient, had purchased from the DSC, limited to 4“ Victorys and Commandos.
