Hi guys. Thanks for tagging me in Mike.
Brinks is probably the largest purchaser of sidearms in the armored truck industry. They vary little regionally, whereas other companies vary greatly in their equipment.
The place I worked for had Model 10’s, 15’s, 13’s, 64’s, 65’s and 686’s. Some other branches in our company only had 64’s, whilst another only had 15’s. The ammo we were issued varied too. I remember getting 110’s, 125’s and 158’s. Also Nyclad, but I can’t remember the bulletin weight. We were given 158 grain plated SWC’s for practice that were commercially reloaded.
With all that said, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Brinks specified in the contract that they would want guns regulated for 110 only. They have a diversified workforce, and even back then they had far more female guards than other companies. After all, it’s manual labor with a gun on. Money is not light, nor is coin. So it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they wanted something mid-range with less oomph and felt recoil for the lighter weight/recoil sensitive troops.
Don’t know how helpful that was.
