Another pawn and gun shop find. I've either got to stop going
into these places ,or go more.

It's a model 940, made in 1993, it's filthy ,but mechanically excellent.

Newark police marked. I wonder how it made it down here to
South Florida? Snowbirds?

Might be from Delaware as well. Their "Newark" is spelled the same but pronounced:New-ark.

ps:Probably is Newark,NJ as the "patch" resembles theirs,however there are 14 towns in the US named "Newark".

Allen:
Nice find. I got one about a year ago and find myself carrying it more off-duty and for back-up on-duty than most of my others. Throw a couple of moonclip loaded down with your favorite HP 9mm an you've got a sweet little set-up. If you carry it concealed, two loaded moonclips fit nicely inside of a small prescription bottle for pocket carry.

Congrats on the 940 Allen-frame

It looks like it'll clean up nicely..

My 940 had a few marks on it when I recieved it & rubbed it with some mothers & white scotch brite & it cleaned up better than new..

Gary ,love the Spegels on yours. I would definitely like a pair of
Craigs extended boot with checkering for mine.

Snowman, how you been.

It's costing me 5 and change out the door ,so it's not
cheap. So it's on lay-away. I'll get it out when I can.

I've been good, Allen. How about you? You got a good price on that little jewel. In the PRK, mine cost me substantially more. Also got my hands on a 3913TSW at a very good price, and a 4516 no dash. I had one of the first 4516's that came out way back in the good old days. Both of these shoot quite well also.
 
Did you have to deal with them? Or was it priced right, and you said to yourself, I`m buying it now, period.
 
Well?? Have you cleaner Her up yet??
Does yours have sticking case problems??
Love the Newark Police Engraving..

"Oh that reminds me" I need to mail out those 9mm cylinder hones again!
Sorry I've fell behind in the Karma department lately..
 
I wonder if that gun was a retirement or commemorative gun? PDs usually didn't mark their guns so nicely; just initials and sometimes a property number.
 
nice looking j frame. i carry my model 60 more and more these days as a bug. I've seen this and several others with nice badges or patches on the side plate.

Does anyone have any suggestions if I wanted to have my departments badge put on a revolver?
