Dangerous weapon WoW, what a story my friend. I can't believe that happened with a S&W revolver. The burns are one thing, but what about losing an eye, or the lead leaving that gun at such a speed it takes you out. I owned a S&W model 686 4 inch for years and never had any problems with it. But...

Pachs You aren't far off with this one. I worked in NYC back in the 1980's and your gun could have pachs. As soon as i got out of the PD academy i got rid of those wood grips. I hated them. I for one carried the S&W model 64, 4 inch revolver with black finger knotched rubber pachs. Worked great...

Hi to all the members. I come from NY. This is a great web site. Never heard of it before, but has good interesting posts. So i thought i'd give it a try. Im a semi-retired PO, who worked some of the toughest beats in the NYC housing projects. I was working there back in the 1980 when the crack...
