NYPD says 'Adios' to 6-shot revolvers

[HFS]

Of course, the N.Y. Daily News has a photo of a FIVE-SHOT Rossi revolver to go with their story...

Per their EXCLUSIVE story:
Apparently, the NYPD went to 9mm semi-auto pistols in 1993. Officers from back then who are still on the force today are grandfathered to carry a .38 special six-shooter. About 150 of them still do.
Starting August 31st (of 2018, I'm guessing), they will be forced to transition to the 9mm Glock or Sig.

I wonder if six-guns will still be allowed for backup or off duty carry?

That is some pretty rough writing. Almost as bad as the 5-shot Rossi to go with the story about a 6-shot revolver.

Hey did any one notice that they used a photo of a 5 shot Rossi in the story instead of a six shot revolver?
