FBI agent's gun

[Old Corp]

Great story and special acquisition....
And, now I learned something - without even realizing it, I was a 'hump detective' for the last half of my years in LE. No real rank, almost every day in the trenches with an ever-increasing caseload.

Thanks for sharing.

This is one of my favorite threads. Great gun. Inspired me to put some smaller grips and a Tyler on my 19-3 (1971). Note, these pictures make this gun look a lot "cleaner" that it appears in real life. This one's been hiking in the swamp, trooping through the NC Sandhills, etc. It's got a little character.

Sometimes in the history of a firearm the perfect person comes along who can truly appreciate and relate to a previous owner.

It is in good hands!

This is the Truth! Sometimes the right guns find you. I recently had one of those experiences.

Thank you for sharing! Awesome revolver and a great history!

I was a street cop for 30 years and knew my share of officers who got into an admin assignment first chance they got and never dealt w/a bad guy after that. Every one of them lost my respect, not that that means much, but I never had much use for anyone who played the system while pretending to be a real police officer. Great story about the FBI hump agent and his gun; thank G-d for "real" cops.

NCBeagle, what kind of stocks are those? Look great on that gun.

Now that is what I like to see, T grip and all. My collecting interests lean towards carry guns and especially guns that were owned and carried by other cops from another era that I could see myself using then or even now. One size fits all dept. issued guns just don`t have that same appeal to me (for duty or for collecting). I have several cool pieces in my collection with a lot of carry wear that are of a model and barrel length that leads me to believe they were likely LEO guns, but I usually just have to imagine what their story is. I love the story and documentation you have for the model 19. thanks for showing it to us!

Very nice!

I wonder how many of today's agents could master such an elegant and advanced weapon?
