Beautifully done Sir!

So a friend of mine has been telling me for months he wanted me to have a look at a gun he received from his Grandfathers estate and he finally brought it in today. Turns out it's a model 36 no dash with a little surface rust on the grip back strap. Other than that it looks as if it has spent...

Yep they are the perfect size for my hands as well!

We used to put a dime on the back strap of the unloaded pistol and pull the trigger nice and smooth so that dime would stay right where we left it when the hammer fell. That wasn't easy but it can be done with lots of practice. Another drill we did was the light stitch drill where you...

We used those for taking notes on calls before we wrote up the reports. Once we filled them up we filled them in case we needed them later.

I can see where the extra weight would come in handy for reducing the recoil on those mag rounds. We were only issued +P ammo for carry. Now me being on the smaller side at 5'6" a 6" barrel would have been massive for me! You bigger guys could pull it off but I was very happy with my 4"...

Man that made for a long draw!

Thought I'd share a shot of my new to me Model 66-2 decked out in Safariland combat grips with my old duty gear. The serial number dates her back to the end of 1985 through early 1986, which makes her pretty special since I started the job in Jan 1986.

I've carried both the 65 and the 66 as my issued weapon for patrol and put a bunch of rounds through them both. The are both accurate and reliable, the question between these two comes down to the sites and what your intended use for the weapon is.

Thank you Sir!

I have an old model 37 no dash with a 3J5xxx serial number. I've been using it as a backup since the early 90's and was wondering when it was made. Appreciate any help.
