David/Dabney, how about some photos of both guns? Like you, I have a soft spot in my soul for the .38 Special revolver. With 37 years in law enforcement, I carried a few on/off duty, plus used them in Police Combat (PPC) competition. I'd probably pack one today, but the Federal outfit I work for hasn't allowed use of privately owned handguns for many years, so my duty holster is filled with "Tactical Tupperware." I won't debate the .38 Special standard 158 gr. LRN load with you...my last .38 Special duty carry load was the 158 gr. SWC-HP +P and I'd still be happy with it today. Hang in there and stay safe.

Mr. LaVistaBill;
Thank you for your interest Bill in an old lawmans Colt Sixgun and "gulp" his image. I was formerly under the monniker of "officialpolice" at an earlier time on the forum here. Mr. Guy Sajer was kind enough to post a few pictures on this forum for me. Wise and kind man, Guy Sajer is, was astute enough to realize this old cop may be a "tad" challenged in posting pictures and posted for me. If you will go to the date of 8-18-2009 (Guy Sajer) in revolver section you will see 4-images of both duty Colts (OP, Metro) as well as myself in uniform. Thanks again for your interest.
David

David,

I found the post and pix you were talking about. Are you still using that old NYPD "Suicide" holster for your OP? I have one of those old Jay-Pee holsters for a S&W Model 10; a friend who was retired NYPD blessed me with a holster, belt and cartridge slide he used on the NYPD, it has been in a couple of my articles in years past.
