Ah these technicalities get me everytime. Thank you for correcting me Jack. I tried though! Combat Masterpiece, nevermind those silly model numbers...they came later!
I believe that serial number K208686 puts the gun in the 1953 range. Pictures would be very helpful to determine the specifics. Sounds like it could be a Model 15 K-38...pics would help
Ok its all starting to come together and make sense now. So with the state issued permit you can carry whatever you want just like any other citizen. Once cleared by the department and qualified you can also use the 57 on duty If you wish. All adding up to a fine 57 on your hip at all...
This is probably a stupid question to some of the old hands here but I'll go ahead and ask anyway. Please forgive my ignorance and wetness behind the ears but...If you are "off duty". As in "off the clock", "out of uniform" and on your "own time" why in the world would your department have any...
