Whats Your S&W EDC

This guy:

I trimmed the Pachmayr Compac grip for speed loaders.
I've done a few mods to compensate for my motor nerve condition. Including an 11 pound rebound spring, 8 pound main spring and I smoothed the guts a bit with an extra fine Arkansas stone.
On the other side:

I added a Laserlyte laser mostly for dry fire practice.

I carry it in this:


Hanging from this:


Right here:
 
1st Gen 9mm Shield, bone stock, 7 rd magazine for maximum concealability. Holster is an older Alien Gear hybrid holster with leather backer. Spare 7 and 8 rd mag in the from left side pants pocket. Ammo is Federal 124gr +P HST.
 
9mm Shield bought few years ago with Hackathorn black rear sight . EDC is nylon padded OWB holster sometimes use leather scabbard or ankle holster.

S&W Model 649. I changed nothing except I added a Tyler-T.

When I carried my 642 I would note that I added Eagle stocks.

My preferred S&W, that I will get back to eventually, and which I did carry last weekend, is a customized M64 that went from 4" to 2" among other things. I love snubby K frames.

I might start carrying this old Model 10 again, too.

Did anybody ever determine what department the N.P.D. guns came from? I have one too and posed the question a while back, but I don't think there was any firm answer. Newark? Norfolk? Nashville?

I'm going with S&W Rover's 4-4-17 post (see below) and opt for Newark. I bought the gun from XAVMECH after he got it from S&W Rover.

'I think the letter from Roy Jinks has pinpointed well how these pistols got from Springfield to New Jersey. I found some posts about Ray's Sporting Goods -- they were a huge supplier for police in Jersey that closed around 2009 when the owner hit his 90's and decided to retire.

I'm guessing the N.P.D. XXX number was put on the pistols after they were bought, presumably by an armorer. The number of pistols with this marking is in the hundreds - based on the numbers we've seen in the recent web sales (I have N.P.D. 188). So my guess is still Newark, as one of the few departments big enough to have that many officers needing a smaller pistol (e.g., detectives, staff, etc.). As posted earlier, a call to the PAO for the Newark Police Division, and his conversation with the armorer, indicated they did have 3953's and they did mark them with N.P.D. (he could not confirm that my number was one of theirs).

With the 3953, Newark would have had a pistol similar to the NYPD 3914DAO (although without the restrike capability). I can imagine police departments in that region looking to emulate NYPD in their choice of firearms for their officers.'

I carry a 640 Pro Series. When I bought it the trigger just wasn't right. I took it to Denny Reichard and he fixed it (it had a long ratchet). While it was there I had him perform a deluxe action job on it. The only other thing I've done was a change the grips to some Pachs. It's perfect now.
