I picked up a NYPD service revolver from 1992, the model 64-5 with the S/N on the outside of the frame and NY-1 designation. This is a DA only revolver and is a terrific shooter with a fantastic DA trigger pull. These were only issued a couple of years if I remember correctly and then the NYPD switched to 9mm semi-autos, I believe starting with the S&W 39xx series, although some officers were still carrying revolvers as late as 2018. I also got a period correct patrolman's holster from the same period, but it's in the bedroom & the wife is asleep. I'll post a pic of the holster tomorrow.

That's cool. So chambered for .38SPL only, or .357? Sorry, I'm not up on my Smiff's.

I think all those were 38 special. What does DA mean district attorney? Detective? I know they called these small carry guns Detective Specials! I was going to buy one of these last year but I have a lil Dan kind of the same gun! Can only imagine being a undercover back in the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's & 70's Carrying a small 5 shot 38 special. Most had a ankle gun also.
