    ....VicPol were using these till last year (I am not sure that even now the transition is complete), they were still buying new ones till a couple of years ago.

    New South Wales marked Model 10-5

    ...actually 2 inch M10s were really uncommon (I never saw one at all with NSWP). Designated Ds (not A Listers) could apply for me have their M10 replaced with a M36, same same was possible when attaining Commissioned rank. Some 3 inch 36s were also issued to officers who's hand was considered...

    Local shop hose me

    Had you called and spoken with someone I think that yo would be in a better position to be annoyed. E-mail is a curious beast and we have all come to rely on it far too much. You still don't *know* they received it and it is certainly possible that no one in fact read it before the sale was...

    Buds has the 3" and 4" model 10s again

    Ha...seen much much worse in service here...!!!! ;) VicPol firearms were handled more than most as till recently (it may even have only started with the M&Ps being issued) the revolver was not a personal issue but a station issue, drawn and returned at the end of shift. In many cases they were...

    OZ Revolvers in USA ?

    Yes it was ugly... !!!!! As each class attended to do the three day Glock conversion their Model 10 or Model 36 was just dropped into a milk crate and taken away. Serial numbers were recorded checked and double checked and they were then driven to Wollongong to the smelter where by serial...

    OZ Revolvers in USA ?

    Nice, NSWP never sold any of their revolvers never, Govt/Service Policy, if it had been in NSWP inventory it would be hand stamped with "NSWP ###" on the front left flat of the frame, this was the number use to account for the firearm on service records (why not the serial number no one can...
