Management won't listen to the Reps. Talked to several at store I worked at for many years.

I owned a 1904 M&P sent to St Louis Dealer with a locally made LEO type Holser. Black leather pouch type with hammer strap. Was well made not crappy! Look at shows as they show up.

As retired LEO, seem to remember FBI stats the more folks killed with 22 calibers than other rounds. Bullet placement most important. Many of my cohorts carried small 22s or 25s as backups.

DSC Victory's went to businesses with Govt contracts, Law enforcement with some to OSS.

MkII Hand ejector originally in 455. Many converted to 45ACP by importers!

Brits marked out import Lend Lease guns in British caliber for safety. They also Converted some 38 Spl. guns to the 38/200 caliber by reaming out the chambers.

Receiver for the 2A and 2A1 rifles were made of higher grade steel to handle the 7,62 x 51 cartridge pressures,

I, being retired LEO, carry my Walther PP more often than not. Also occasionally a SW 30 or 31, both 2 inch with Buffalo bore wad cutters.

Yes, Badge numbers of officer issued to!

My very first was a S&W No.2 Army .32RF. Purchased by Parents as a gift for me. Still have it. Lettered, in 1980s, to 1863 and has the Factory rework Star on butt.

I noticed early on that a Manual Safety had to be added the Pistol. Training problems with personnel who had NO experience with Firearms due to the Anti Gun rhetoric and restrictive laws in many places. States

Stolen IDs and identities will get same response.

Walther PP in .32 Auto with Gold Dot ammo. Dang thing is more accurate than my Glock 19!

Started '73 as Deputy Sheriff, carried Trooper Mk3, switched to Smith 10-6 HB, off duty was 15-2 2 inch and Model 60. Carried 10 many years and still due. Tried M39, 1911, Dep finally switched to Autos, personal choice. Browning HP for a while then to Glock 19.

In the 70s thru 2000s we carried multiple "tool" Slappers, both small and spring loaded, for the Sap pocket on trousers, Regular Batons, PR24s, Yarawa sticks then transitioned to Peper spray!!!! And of Course, the Big D cell flashlights which phased out for C cell Mag lights!
