Just handled a beautiful nickle 586 that was taken off a suspect and placed into evidence.
Why do you guys have to scratch numbers into the side plate. Can't you just put it into a zip lock-seal it and mark the outside-It positively breaks my heart to see a georgeous gun being defiled like that
I don't mind y'all doing it to a lorcin or high point, but a Smith??? or for that matter a Colt 1911??????? I don't know what hurt more, that nickle 586 with the number scratched in it, or that Model 21 recovered that the perp had made into a coach gun.
