I picked-up a nice mid-80's 10-8 marked "MPD" with factory DAO hammer.

Anybody know some departments who issued the DAO Model 10 (does not have to be "M")?

I know there have been lots of department/company marked Model 64 DAO's on the market over the years.

the new york police department and brinks security....i have some of each.....

10s or 64s?

I have this Model 10-9, marked MP 222. It's a bubba bob job though....not factory.

Model 10 used by NYPD were not marked with NYPD

Also I don't the version of model 10's the NYPD used but they used both tapered barrel and heavy barrel depending year

You would have to ask one of our NYPD members of service, or even Bob Vivas, but I don't think the NYPD Model 10s were DAO. I think the DAO guns began with the Model 64 over at NYPD.

I think that this is correct. The requirement of DAO revolvers for NYPD came a year or two after a 1985 accidental shooting. Officer accidentally fired while holding person at gunpoint with cocked revolver. Just had this conversation with a retired NYPD officer from whom I purchased two NY-1 guns a couple weeks ago. Also, I seem to recall other posts on this forum discussing these events in detail.

There was the 64 and then a Ruger version. Again, a lot of posts about this on the site. Quite a few former / retired NYPD folks on here.

Nypd did not have DAO 10's. The DAO started with the stainless NY-1 model 64, stainless Speed Six and stainless Service Six guns.
