I moved up the river and worked at Wasco County for 7 years till I came back to Idaho and got my degree so I could go to the Feds.
Geez I spent a ton of money at Northwest Police Supply!!!!!!
Marc: I just checked my S&W file folder and we/the county used Northwest.
I carried a Bianchi 5BHL Highride till OSP went to the Nelson Break fronts after one of the guys in Hood River got his duty weapon snatched out of those low ride swivel holsters they wore back then. After that the Sheriff order us to carry them to. The nice part was they were good about building one for the 5" Model 27 I carried back then. It's still out in the gun room in my leather box.
Oh, back to the original question, I carried a 4" S&W Model 15 with 38s in it. The only NON Magnum I carried in 20 something years.

Ross,
Did you work with Bob Hazlett during your stint with Wasco County?
Best,
