Show them the underside of the trigger guard!
I read, somewhere back in the depths of time, the Elmer Keith's original idea was for Smith to come out with a medium frame revolver (similar to what became the L frame) for the .41 magnum. Instead, they re-purposed the N frame, and magnumized the cartridge along with it.
For a separate, but related topic: When did your agency get rid of saps? Were they still in use in the '80s?
The .41 magnum is probably my favorite pistol cartridge solely due to the accuracy of my personal .41 model 57.
I once put my .41 in the hands of a 15 year old kid who had never fired a handgun in his life (he was a rifle hunter) showed him a 50 yard gong, told him to align the sights and press the trigger and he drilled the thing with a single shot. This was with a 215gr bullet right around 1,000fps.

My dad's first police gun in a rural Wyoming department, when I was but a wee lad, was a Model 25. He has told me he liked it a lot, I think his was a 5 inch barrel.
I will show him your list of questions and see what his thoughts are.

Yeah, that's what tipped me off to thinking that it wasn't '60s or '70s vintage.“Law Enforcement Use Only”
Yes. Uniform trousers had a pocket for them along the outer seam, although a lot of guys carried them tucked in the waistband behind the duty belt buckle. By the mid-90s they were gone.
