The Last Revolver

[@keysgirl7699]

S&W model 1917 in .44? I thought the 1917 was a .45 acp using three round moon clips? The first .44 Spl was introduced in 1907. The New Century also known as the Triple Lock.

[@RidersRange]

You are correct. That's what I get for going from bullet points, rather than a script. Thanks for watching and for the clarification.

[@davek5027]

When I came on in 1988, every deputy was issued a model 15 .38 special, and most of us carried a leather sap at all times. Ithaca 37 12 gauge shotguns. Those saps were VERY effective.

[@RidersRange]

Leather "attitude readjustment tool". Thanks for watching.

I used a speedloader to reload my Colt Detective Special in a 1974 gunfight w/armed robbery suspects. It got me back into the fight quickly & I was able to put the bad guy down for good.

I'm glad it worked out for you. Thank you for watching and adding to the conversation.

[@johnbissett3653]

In 1971 I went to work for a Police Department in Florida and you had to supply your own duty weapon. I bought a Model 28, new for /$62. I had a problem with rust and took it to the Smith and Wesson repair shop in Tampa. Mr. Fish was the gun smith and sent to S&W factory and coated with a "tool chrome" they were experimenting with. Mr. Fish worked the action to smooth as butter. After 47 years in LEO, I retired and still have every duty weapon I carried on duty. The list goes from Model 28 to Model 29, Model 19, 1911, Model 64 then to the Glocks, Model 19, Model 23 and Model 27 for off duty. Every time we had a change in Administration, new ideology on duty weapons.

[@RidersRange]

A Model 28 for $62 back in 1971 - that's a great bargain. Thanks for watching, commenting, and for your 47 years of service.

[@Sharpbevel]

Did you carry .44 mag in your 29 or .44 spl?

[@johnbissett3653]

@@Sharpbevel I started with the 44 mag but new Sheriff did not like any magnums 357 or 44, so if you had one it could only carry Special Ammo. In his last year he issued Model 64 and issued ammo. New Sheriff 7 years later, knew firearms so we went to Glock 19's.

[@FormerMPSGT]

My Model 28 (my Duty Weapon) was $218.00 in 1978, I was an Explorer Scout (16 years old beat two Regular Officers I shot with by er still did not pass. I was congratulated, they were Tod ‘It would be who of you to practice!’ I wore that Revolver out in the Academy in 1983.

​@@RidersRange Ha!! Yeah right! Reminds me of the Range shootout on the Dirty Hary movie Magnum Force!!

[@TheBandit59]

I started duty with a model 64 smith in .38 spc., A few years later the dept switched to Glocks, I was never a big fan. I had owned an sig P-226, which lost the trials . The range officer dropped them from the 3rd story parking, the Glock lost its sights but still shot, the P-226 wouldn’t function.I always wanted a Colt Python, but never was able to get one.When the dept switched, there was a series of AD’s, I believe under stress, the hammer of the smith would rise a bit, and you would let off a bit and lower it , if you didn’t fire, where that muscle memory would fire the Glocks with much less pressure. The guys were putting in light Glock trigger groups , like 3-4 lbs. Nevel Johnson turned sharply bumping into an officer which caused him to get shot point blank in the head. This started big riots . The guys used to say, “ don’t mess with me or you’ll bump my Glock!”, Which could be taken a bit wrong . Great video

[@enricomandragona163]

I remember that!!

[@RidersRange]

@TheBandit59, interesting additional info. Thanks.

[@enricomandragona163]

I'm still old school and not even going to entertain owning a polymer gun as i had an Easy 9 S&W as it was the only thing available during the pandemic!! Kudos for that officer for sticking with what worked for him!! My Revolver of choice would of been a S&W 19 or a Colt Python with a 38 snub-nose as a backup!! If i was forced to carry an Automatic it's a Beretta M-9 all day long

[@RidersRange]

[@whomagoose6897]

The more I learn about revolvers the more I appreciate wheel guns. Seeing your presentation of holsters was interesting. I chose the Galco FLETCH holster. Has a thumb snap to retain the firearm. And a 30° forward cant that assists drawing the handgun while seated in a car. Plus the 30° cant reduces exposure while concealed carry. Even for larger guns. One thing is it has an off set stitching to keep the gun very close to your body. Works for me.

[@RidersRange]

Thank you for watching and adding good info to the conversation.

[@In_con_ceivable]

It’s amazing how long the revolvers stayed in service. I’m sure you guys were good with them but still the semi’s must have seemed like something out of a movie for ease of use, speed and all. Revolvers just have more character. Great story and flashback. Great video as always. Have a great New Year ! 🙏

I was issued the Model 67 in 1987. Shot it very well after putting Pachmayr stocks on it. A few years ago, I picked another one up for nostalgic purposes.

That is one rock-solid Roscoe.

[@dalepatten5612]

Impressive shooting! All in double action at some pretty far ranges too! Not law enforcement, but I worked armed security for a while and carried a beat up Colt trooper in a Don Hume front draw holster. Was what I could afford at the time. Practiced my reloads with speedloaders until I got decent with it. Gave up security work and moved onto better things. Gradually getting better with semiauto pistols now. Still love my revolver though. P.S.: I'm a millennial.

[@RidersRange]

Thank you for watching and it's good to hear from a millennial. P.S. My oldest grandson is 21 and he owns a couple revolvers. But I'm guessing you and he are in a huge minority.

[@kellyanderson9135]

According to my LGS where I purchased it my model 66-1 was carried by an officer in my local PD. I have no way to confirm that or who it may have been but I thought it was a cool piece of history. I do know that my local PD switched to Glocks for everyone in 1999 or 2000 so it could have been carried up till then by that officer. Pretty neat.

[@oldtanker4860]

My department made the switch after a nasty shooting where the Officer was on his last reload with a revolver against a guy with a mini uzi semi auto and a 32 rd mag. He had actually hit the guy with one of his first rounds but he didn't go down. He broke off, getting back in the car and crashing dead a couple blocks later. We were then given the option, on our own dime. to go with one of 3 semi's, the G 17, an HK and a S&W (39?). We also had to buy the practice ammo and leather. The department supplied carry ammo. I went from a S&W 66 (no dash) to a G17 then a G19 as a Motor until retiring. I still have the S&W and the G19. I still shoot the 66 and do it very well.

Thank you for more revolver content! I would love to see your 66-2. There is just something beautiful about stainless or blued metal wrapped in wooden grips. Whenever I go gun stores I always gravitate to revolvers, SA/DA (92FS), 1911s. They all just have character. Striker fire guns are like Toyota Prius in that they are sensible, reliable, and have excellent mpg/capacity, but they have no soul. Revolvers look like 50s-60s American cars. Yeah I’m probably better off with the Prius but I’ll enjoy life so much more with the muscle car.

[@RidersRange]

Thank you for watching and commenting with the good analogy. I believe a quality revolver from "back in the day" (along with quality all-metal pistols such as the 1911 platform) are almost a works of art, while the "plastic fantastic" pistols of today are just functional working tools. Each has its place in the collection.

Thanks for watching. Revolvers are very simple and most police officers don't have any interest in guns. The manual of arms for the 1911 pistol, with it's grip safety, manual safety, being carried in "condition one", etc., took more training and the "cocked and locked" carry scared lots of police administrators and policy writers. Even today, few police agencies allow the 1911, or any single-action pistol, except for specialty units that receive extensive training. The vast majority of departments want simple, which means striker-fired pistols with no manual safety.

@, my dad retired from Jackson County Sheriff Department in the early 90’s, and I remember them carrying the S&W .357 magnum for years before switching to the 40 S&W Glocks. I always loved that old revolver he carried.

If it was Jackson County, Michigan, I may have bumped into him at come point.

@, it was

Excellent Video!... But I have got a Question: Were your Revolvers such as that Model 66 "Neutered" by your Department?... When I say "Neutered", I mean made to Shoot Double Action Only?... If you tried to Cock The Hammer, it wouldn't stay back?... Just Curious... A Lot of Departments Had That "Rule"....

[@enricomandragona163]

That's pretty stupid!!

[@RidersRange]

@jasonbuck489, that's one I never heard of. Most policies prohibit modifications of any type, other than changing grips to fit the hand. And I agree with @enricomandragona163 that modifications like that are pretty stupid. Thanks for watching.

My ex father in law, Russel Sally, was from Ypsi. They moved to Ohio probably 15 years ago.

[@RidersRange]

I trust he wasn't one of my "customers"?

[@joshuagibson2520]

Story time is always > shooting.

Thank you for watching.

There is a feature of KZbin that lets you adjust the speed of the playback. You might try that to see if it helps.
