"Adam 12, see the man...."

[Trooper224]

Here's a K-38 Heavy Masterpiece in a Safety Speed clamshell holster. This holster is basket weave leather. Once you push the button to open it up you better have a good grip on the gun or else it's hitting the ground!

Ah, the Safety Speed. Giving the term "dump pouch" a whole new meaning.

You seem to be the only one who has a problem with my writing. Funny how you choose to contribute minimally to the discussion with such trivial criticism. Are you as equally petty in person?

I cannot understand why you continue to be so rude. Your initial writing indicated that your revolver was used in the first three seasons of "Adam 12". You need to "chill out"!

By the way, your doctor called, you forgot to take your meds today.

Nice K38, love the holster pics too.



I think their call sign should have been 2-Adam-12 (Rampart)

 

[Texas Star]

As for call signs, I think they worked out of different stations on different episodes.

BTW, how many Cheerios are the right number in a bowl? Never thought of that before. My Cheerios intake may be slightly excessive by current PC guidelines. But bowl sizes vary.

I hope that we won't find this topic to be a few Cheerios short of a bowl... the gun stuff and photos are excellent.

 

[2152hq]

Then their call sign first number would change with the Div they worked out of.
I don't know anything about cheerios, I do use them as a filler in my 12ga 3/4oz reloads though. Rice Krispys work good too. Might want to try them;
...agree on the gun stuff and leather as stated.

Now, Gentlemen. The object of the thread was to show us all another classic that survived in pristine condition. That cannot be debated. Grammar and syntax, on the other hand, may be depated ad nauseum. Great 14!!!!

As Trooper has pointed out, the K38 Masterpiece (a.k.a. Model 14) is a fantastic revolver! I love mine ... I have two, a 1957 4 screw and an early '80s version (14-3 and 14-4?). In addition, I have a brand new, in the shrink wrap peg board package, Single Action kit.

K22 is a 3T, at the bottom.
K38 4 screw is in the center with a Hogue Monogrip and service trigger and hammer.
K38 with 3Ts at the top.

Malloy carried a 6" model 19 with Farrant grips in the first few years before they switched to the 15's in later episodes.

What are you missing here? He had a Model 14 or a pre-numbered K-38. The M-19 wasn't even authorized on LAPD, unless I've been misinformed.

Read my post about Model 68, although it was stainless and came later, I think as an optional purchase, through the dept.

It is well known that the K-38/M-14 was the LAPD revolver until they went to the shorter barrels. I've seen photos of officers back then, and that's what they had. Some may have had the equivalent Colt Officers Model Match.

I watched Adam-12 when it was on TV and since on YouTube, and I know and like the six-inch M-19. I'm very good at identifying guns on TV. I will be amazed if you can show that Malloy had a M-19. He did use custom grips.

Now that's a puzzlement.

On the DVD set I have, Malloy's Model 19 must be the one without the barrel shroud.

 

[gboling]

Texas Star is quite correct, the LAPD has never authorized the use of a 357 magnum.
