A 686 issued as a duty weapon issued by Iowa State Patrol

I bought the 586, a model 13 a model 66 and the model 686 from same trooper after he retired.

Ankona, what idea would that be? I'm trying to get each state. Some I can't, like Hawaii, and I've never seen some marked by a few.

This is a great thread. Some really sweet guns here. What a great idea for a collection.

A model 66 Washington Sate Patrol marked. I have a model 28 and a 38/44 as well. Also a Beretta 92, a Rem 870 and a consecutive numbered pair of Winchester model 12 riot guns.

jackvs1,

Does that M28 have a white outline rear sight? It appears to have the .312 smooth trigger, correct?

 

[thomp45acp]

My model 28?

Missouri State Highway Patrol issue revolver, 38 Special Combat Masterpiece with 5 inch barrel.

The revolver is shown with issue swivel holster, double ammunition pouch, handcuff case, and Sam Browne Belt with shoulder strap. Note that the Dee rings are affixed not to the belt, or to removable keepers, but to the belt tunnel on the holster itself. Leather was made by Dehner's of Omaha, who refers to it as the "Missouri Style." All holsters for MSHP were made to hold a 5 inch revolver even though MSHP switched to the 4 inch Combat Masterpiece in 1954. This simplified stocking requirements for replacement holsters. Weapon belongs to a friend, who allowed it to be photographed for an article written by myself, fellow SWCA member Russ, known on this forum as "Linde," and Roy Jinks.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE POSTED THIS SUGGESTION. IMHO, WE NEED A MASTER "LIKE" BUTTON, FOR THREADS LIKE THIS. I LIKED EACH AND EVERY POST AND EACH AND EVERY PICTURE IN THIS THREAD. THE FIREARMS ARE FANTASTIC, AND THE PHOTOS ARE GORGEOUS…..

 

[thomp45acp]

Well.... All the photos but mine lol

Unfortunately when decommissioned the Washington State Patrol stamps were ground off the back strap. On mine you can just make out the first three letters. It sure is a great shooter.

Man, that's a bummer.

I guess that renders it worthless, so I'll be happy to take if off your hands. Least I could do for a forum member

I grew up in Wolf & Klar country, so a 3rd model would hold some extra meaning for me. But alas, I should have thought of that 30 years ago, when at least some were still below four figures.

I know this is an old thread, but here is a West Virginia State Police S&W model 686 that I just picked up yesterday.

 

[flundertaker]

I have a Connecticut State Police blued model 66. pretty tough to find, but I see one other posted above. Duty weapons and commemorative are vastly different IMHO.

Illinois State Police 5" Heavy Barrel from 1957.

There is currently a S&W MISSOURI HIGHWAY PATROL COLLECTORS SET 1931-1981 NIB on Missouri Armslist.

It is not my listing. Just posting this to enrich the thread.
