Any more followups? I was at a gun show down here on Florida yesterday and was in the market for a SIG 522, GSG5, Ruger SR 22, or the Colt AR22. I really liked the feel an, weight, and the overall "look -ability" to the Colt - is there any opinion that makes the AR22 decidedly a hands down...

Yepper - we had to cover Hwy 2, and they covered us as well with adjoining roadways of the Belt, VZ, and SIE.

The question asked most by civilians is how to get out of a speeding summons. The question most asked by MOS is how come we're not available - this is hush hush - the moment you guys take the 53 on the Belt - we jump into the precinct for some food on the arm - :o) Seriously, I know in 5...

Now now - I can't give up all those secrets...

The mark under my NY-1 stamp - if I remember correctly was that this showed that the range inspected this during the recall. And Florida 1098 is right on the mark - once a year, usually in the summer the bosses wold have us bring in all of our firearms and make sure everything was on the up and...

Yepper - it was purchased at the equipment section - and was part of the 1989 recall. All of my service weapons - Ruger, Police Six, S&W M-60, and S&W 5946 were from One PP (5946 we got for no cost, had to pay $75 for the night sights). The one off-duty I bought right before I retired was the...

Sal - I don't know - take a look at my 60 on page 2 - that's a city NY-1 stamp - orangehole's stamp is way more perfect than mine - and I got that one from 1 PP.

I was part of the retiree contingent that responded - I still have my air filter from the initial day with all the dust still on and in it - and the helmet they gave me at Fresh Kills - I'm donating it a 9/11 rememberance organization. Aside from that - I have the polyps in my nasal cavity as a...

Equipment section wound up getting out of the business of selling highway gear - (HWY 95-01) I guess it was too much over-head. I bought all my leather, britches, Sam Brown, Lanyard, etc from Big Apple police equipment in Staten Island - went through around $2,000 in one day between my jacket...

It's not a matter of being true or not - we're talking about post 1987 - before that I have no idea what the department equipment sections policy happen to be at the time - truthfully - I don’t even care what their policy was, or is. All I can say is what I know as a MOS from the day I came on...

I would guess that he had it, as you stated, modified by merely having a gunsmith exchange a spurred - no, I do not have the star as you have shown - again, I was in the first class, it may have come afterwards. Honestly, in my company of almost 50 recruits, only a few of us picked the Ruger -...

NYPD S/S Ruger Police Service-Six Sgt127 - In the July 1987 Class (I was in Company 87-73) we chose our service revolver in the following manner. Around August the department set out a table, you picked up one of two weapons as a male, either the Ruger, or the S&W. I chose the Ruger because my...

No - Equoiment section purchases were for just MOS (Members of the Service - NYPD term for its sworn employees) - what happens is once a firearm is authorized you may purchase it from a licensed store. These firearms were not available to these stores - on the NYPD Equipment section at One...

The equipment section in 1989 started receiving the "Centennial" edition from S&W (internal hammer) - waited for the authorization to start again for the Model 60, and knowing what a scam the contract system is with manuf. and the chiefs at purchasing I held on to little hope. I left the NYPD...

Photo's Best I can do with my camera - I tried to get into the NY-1 MOD 60 Stamp as best I could. You can also see the firing pin we have been referring to - again this firearm had not been altered in anyway from the Firearms Training Unit at Rodmans Neck. A few of the gunsmiths actually wanted...
