Let's see your Law Enforcement Marked Smiths!

My verified CHP 4013TSW that I still carry on duty and CCW. Still sees some occasional highway action. Considered getting it refinished but I like that it tells a story with the damage that its still gathering. Sadly the very well worn grip was cracked when a fellow officer bumped the gun onto the ground in the range so thats basically new now.

Here is a 19-3 from the Georgia State Patrol back in the Smokey & The Bandit days.

[Q]I see now that the engraving on the bottom of the barrel also is marked
“Exb-2”
I am guessing for exhibit #2 ?[/Q]
Yes... "Exh 2" = Exhibit 2.
Note: As exhibit numbers are assigned by the court clerk, I do not believe the number is a LE case number.

As the topic of "Court Ordered Asset Forfeiture of Firearms" is not exactly germane to the title of this thread, I'll be creating a new thread covering these unique Smith & Wesson handguns.

My only law enforcement are 3 model 10's that were used by Victoria Australia. They are marked with small stickers.

Not sure what the stamp means, possibly Dept. of parks and rec?

As the Washington DC DPR Law Enforcement Park Rangers no longer exist, that's a distinct possibility. Their law enforcement responsibilities have been transferred to D.C Special Police Officers.

Model 5903 found at another gun show about 10 years ago marked Atlanta Police.

Nice. I live in metro-Atlanta and knew a man in the early 1980's who owned a Winchester 1873 in .44 WCF marked APD #--. I forgot the number following APD but it was very nice. Too bad I didn't try to buy it from him. I eventually became a police officer and retired several years ago.

Time to slip this ugly ol' gal back into the conversation.

Lubbock PD. I gussied it up after I bought it.

One of my son's friends is a state policeman and he bought this from him as a birthday present for me when WV changed to another platform.

Like I said earlier, my 1937 38/44 isn’t marked but does letter to a PD.

 

[EEResQ]

Almost forgot about this little BUG...
It's a retired Kentucky State Police / Walther PPK/S (licensed by Smith & Wesson). According to a KSP armorer, only 1250 of these were ordered in 1986 as back-up guns for issue to State Troopers.

 

[80sSmithGuy722]

Here's the S&W that got me hooked on the brand. Got this lightly fired .40 M&P Detroit PD and rack # 1542 marked pistol for a ridiculous price from Buds pre-pandemic. My fav S&W auto to shoot... not a beauty queen like my LE 686 but smooth, comfortable and reliable. I am sure it gave solace to some brave Motor City cop when it was worn.

I have two Model 10’s that qualify here. One is really nice and the other is less so.


First is a TPD for Toledo Police Department, 10-6 which I believe dates to 1969. It has some good, honest use but I would guess it did not spend years out on patrol because it’s pretty nice.


The other one was an issued gun for the Ohio DOC. It is not marked but was part of a large group that the local huge gun store took in.

It is a 10-10, dates to 1991 I think, and it is not marked with the DOC however you must love how the department armorer gave it a rack number:

I was not there but in my mind he carved in to it with a rusty, broken nail.

This revolver shoots & shoots however! Slick and smooth and a joy to shoot.

Yup... It's hard to beat a S&W Model 10 'Heavy Barrel'.
