[QUOTE="trbii, post: 1770909, member: 2449"] I have no degree of certainty but for that time frame it would have to have been a 4" barrel blued steel S&W .38 SPL. I think S&W #10, formely marketed as M&P six shot double action, fixed sight revolver. I knew an ex TPD uniformed cop that worked patrol back in the 1970's that mentioned the S&W #66 stainless steel .357 mag they carried back then. Heard some story about a batch of Glaser Safety Slug ammo that was defective/underpowered or something like that. An officer fired back at a biker gang member wearing a leather jacket and the Glaser pellets just skidded along jacket sleeve causing no wound to speak of. I heard later that Glaser remedied that shortcoming. Maybe SGT. Brown can post about this historical trivia. I know I'd enjoy "hearing" from him. [/QUOTE]
