Interesting NY Times article on NYPD revolvers.

I'd want a Pocket Hammerless just to put it in a General's Officer's pistol belt and walk around the house while Jackie is at work calling myself General and running a CPX in my mind.

With or without the riding crop and breeches?

Breeches for sure. A crop would be a bit too pretentious

Now in 2018 only fifty officers are still carrying revolvers. They have been ordered to switch over to semi-auto pistols. The deadline is August of this year. The revolver is now just a chapter in the history of American law enforcement.

With a twelve pound trigger pull, I think you'll need all sixteen rounds to put lead on the target.

I remember reading about NYPD's revolvers a few months back, apparently the only allowed holster was really shoddy and was typically replaced yearly, and they didn't authorize speedloaders until AFTER the transition to autos

The holster was made by a company out of New Jersey. I think the company is called Pgee or something like that. A Google search will show it. They aren't great. I heard the same thing about speed loaders. NYPD is an odd department.
