LEO Revolvers!

[keith44spl]

We will have to ask Dave Keith to put on a fashion show. He is a pretty dapper dresser when he goes to court.

Well Iggy,
I don't rightly know what dapper means...



But, after a couple lustrums of service to the Courts.

I weathered my time within the halls of justice with the greatest of glee.
As I was well armed to make sure the accused was not, ya see.

My .44 Special for Upper Court Proceedings,

My .357 & .38 for Lower Court

Of course now I'm retired & I'm relieved & I'm rejoicing...

Su Amigo,
Dave

keith44spl, you must live on the north side of the red to have that good of taste in leather and steel. That rig with the .44 is stunning!

Our department carries the Glock 21. Personally I would love to be able to carry my Model 57 and be done with it.

The security company I work for has been talking about getting us the training and converting to an "armed security" site. Rather it will happen, remains to be seen, but in the course of discussion they did say we would be allowed to carry personal sidearms as long as they of the type the state allows security guards to carry. I've debated which I'd carry if I could, and although I'd like to carry one of my revolvers, to tell you the truth, I'd hate to beat one up getting in and out of a patrol car, going through doors, sitting at a desk, etc.

I think I'd use my Sigma. Who cares if a plastic gun get's scratched?

I made a run to Barnes Hospital in St Louis Friday . Their security department is DPS certified like any other law enforcement agency.I was surprised (and pleased) to see all their officers carrying 4inch Smith&Wesson revolvers in their duty rigs. Being in downtown St Louis they use them too. I rolled in there at midnight one night and the whole ambulance entrance was cordoned off due to security having just shot and killed a man.

I love my revolvers too, especially the Python and L-Comp. But I agree with CajunBass, I carry Glocks and a SIG 220. Because I bang into a lot of things while working, and the Glocks just take the abuse and laugh. I gotta say the finish on the Glocks is almost impervious to the abuse I give it. Even the SIG is scratched and pitted, the Glocks look brand new except for around the corners on the muzzle showing holster wear.

Can't imagine doing that to the Python!

But I do carry the wheelguns out to dinner with wifey and such on nice events. That is when the Kimber 1911 and the Springfield EMP see use as well.

who made the grips on that revolver?

Gents, not tryin' to pick a fight here but I look at "Honest wear" on guns the same as I do people. A life of work and service brings scars and wrinkles. Both of which should be respected and admired.

Some days you've just got to carry a S&W revolver. These are currently in service on the lakes and back country I get to patrol. The 45 Colt Mountain Gun is one of my favorites, with the 627 8 shooter gaining ground. My duty gear isn't nearly as good looking as those shown in this post. Just black Bianchi cordura stuff, due to the boating environment they work in.
