Back in 1978 I entered into Law Enforcement and was issued a 4 inch bull barrel S&W model 10 (.38 spcl), then I transitioned to a model 65 (.357 mag), same configuration. Then I came upon a S&W model 28 (.357 mag) with a 5 inch barrel and went to Gunsight and took my revolver shooting to the next level. I went twice. Then my department said no more Dirty Harry guns and I changed again to a 4 inch S&W model 66, (.357 mag). For plain clothes work I carried a 2 1/2 inch model 19. Never did I feel out gunned and had no regrets or reservations about carrying a revolver. I went from a urban department to a Sheriff's Office and carried a S&W model 29 6 inch until we were mandated to dump our revolvers so my weapon of choice was a 1911. I have been out of LE since 2006 and still have no reservations when it comes to revolvers. Actually being somewhat of a dinosaur, I do prefer a revolver and prefer steel over polymer. 5 and 6 shots are not a problem for me.
