One of my dayshift defectives and I, both in late '50s, decided to show our skinny jeans sleuths what real guns look like today. He's packing his Ruger Security Six 2-3/4 issued to him in the early '80s and I've got my good ol' Model 27-2 Dick Tracy/Gen. Patton Special. Yes, we have Magnums in them and of course we have our G23s handy as well.
Anyone else ever go Ol' School on duty? It is a guilty pleasure I relish.

Bravo! Now, not only are you my girlfriends favorite detective, but mine too....
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.
"If I had a grandpa, he would look like Delbert Belton".
Tempted to get me one of those i-Pizzle wrist-radios and a yellow fedora, too.
Gotta corner my pard Randy and try to grab a shot of his Ruger face-melter.

Caught up with Randy and he set me straight, it's a SS Speed Six made and issued to him in 1982 when he went to Dick Division. Do the math!
If that gun could talk, it'd be OK; statue of limitations have run on 20th Century. It'd sound like a Southern Version of the Hebrew Hammer.
Anyways, he's carrying the HKS in a pocket and the speed strips are mine. The retarded bright and smoky R-P 125s in the one speed strip matches the six in my cylinder. BB 180 WFNGCs are in the other, in case I have to calm a large American automobile or a blue whale attacks outta the Stones River.

Wish I still had my Speed Six, I ran mine with the factory stocks and a Tyler T-Grip. Was a great off duty gun to my Security Six 4"

A 4" M64 from the '70s came home with me about three weeks ago. It is exactly like the one I turned in 27 years ago for Austrian Tupperware. I still have the revolver duty belt. It would be very tempting to wear it on my last day on the job. Problem is, gunbelts have a tendency to shrink over the years...

Not a revolver or a throwback because I currently carry it and will for years to come, but here is my on-duty pistol. It's heavy and it's metal and I figure this section of the forum is where folks will appreciate it.
Bluing is worn and its a tad looser than it was around 30,000 rounds ago, but the Kart barrel still does its job and I love it. Lives in a Safariland 6280 when in uniform and a Sherrick SIS when not.

That looks like my old 70 Series Colt I carried in the mid-late 90s as a patrolman. After I retired it, I had it completely redone. It looks much better now than when it did after being used as a work gun.

As Wayne has been known to say:
Any outlaw from Texas to Tennessee should be proud to have that hogleg participate in their apprehension.
AAR Heavy Metal, maybe I'm into the spirit of the thing itself but I felt better in the hips and knees this afternoon when my shift ended than I have for a long while, despite carrying a primary roughly twicet as heavy as my G23.
Grampa 609, I've only had this snubby N for a year or so, and ain't taken anyone at gunpoint with it yet. C. '99 we had a plainclothes chase of a notorious badnik in which I broke an axle, lost my 229 in the rumble and snatched my 5-inch 27 out and caught dude a block over. He saw the hollow points grinning at him in the cylinder and turned to surrender. I thereupon punted him w my tiny Size 10 in a semi-somersault. Miss the 20th Century...
