Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Our history is a part of us, and to ignore our beginnings is to ignore our foundation. Today, cops only feel adequately armed if they have a polymer, high-cap auto on their hip, with 50 rounds of ammo on-hand in magazines. Yet, fewer than 30 years ago, most American law enforcement personnel carried double-action revolvers — facing many of the same threats cops face today — but armed with 18 shots on their duty belts. Yet they faced them anyway. By the early 1990s, most US law enforcement agencies had transitioned from revolvers to semi-autos. This isn’t to infer revolvers were no longer employed, and indeed, revolvers continue to be carried daily by a grandfathered few — those who trained in revolver use as rookies. The sight of a holstered revolver on the hip of a uniformed police officer today usually indicates great seniority. Also, the small, lightweight and easily concealed snubnosed revolvers are still used by undercover officers as backup guns, as well as by off-duty cops. Where are the ex-law enforcement revolvers now? Dealers, often in large lots, purchased thousands from agencies.
There has always been a collector’s niche for such handguns, but interest in this area has gained momentum during the past 20 years with the release of so many examples. Agency-marked guns in particular have become desirable additions to some collections. Personally owned revolvers, some with documentation, but lacking agency identification marks, occasionally come on the market. Many of these handguns show extensive finish wear, but most were fired little and are often fine shooters as-is.
The .38 Special has been one of America’s darlings for over a century. Today Smith & Wesson offers little in the way of a 4″ or longer-barreled .38 Special-only revolver. They have three — two of the guns are stainless steel, the Model 64 and Model 67, and one is blued carbon steel, the Model 10. The Model 64 is the stainless steel version of the Model 10. The remaining Model 67 is the stainless steel version of the no-longer-produced Model 15. All three guns are rated for .38 Special +P ammunition and hold six shots.Models 10 and 64 have a heavy barrel and fixed sights while the Model 67 adds an adjustable rear sight and red ramp front sight. All three are built on the medium-sized K-Frame that has been around since 1899 under different names.
