I'm wondering, why did NYPD switch from the Model 10 to the Model 64? It doesn't seem to me like there's much utility in switching from a blued revolver to a stainless steel revolver. --Maxman (talk) 14:54, 9 March 2014 (EDT)
- Stainless steel revolvers don't require quite as much cleaning and care as compared to their blue-steel counterparts, so the change was probably to make maintenance of the weapons easier for the officers. They also tend to be a little more hard-wearing as well. That said, it could just be that was the choice they made in order to have a similar weapon from the same company and all that but still have it technically be a 'new weapon' in case that's what an order/contract stipulates, you know there are always those kinds of things.. That said, I wonder what 'modifications' the NYPD requested to be made on their Model 64s - Anyone know offhand? StanTheMan (talk) 15:42, 9 March 2014 (EDT)
