Here's a picture of one of my partner's father's guns. A model 12-2 which he carried as a backup. I had the honor of repairing and cleaning it recently.
In 1976, my friends father was walking into the Fisher Building in downtown Detroit when a gun man who just robbed the bank inside ran out. PO Dorhing was in uniform and on his way to pick up his wife who worked in that building. The gunman opened fire on my friend's father hitting PO Dorhing three times in the torso. All none fatal wounds. PO Dorhing returned fire as the suspect ran away shooting him thru the shoulder. The suspect lived on the streets and in dope houses for almost a year until the "back alley" surgery he had became so infected that he turned himself in.
PO Dorhing returned to work and retired after 25 years. He passed away several years ago. This is his 12-2.
