My recollection is that it was a model 10 with 4 in barrel. That was in
1968. By then we were using M-16s (A nothing) pre burst limiter.

Short barrel .38 cal revolver. I was a NUCLEAR weapons expert, not a
FIREARMS expert, but the firearms instructors called 'em "police
specials."
Sometimes during our qualification exercises with the .38, we were advised
that it may be better to "throw it at 'em and run" rather than try to hit
anything with a bullet, or maybe the noise would scare 'em for a few
seconds.

you've merged some names maybe on the .38. my guess is you are talking
about a model 10 military & police, which is what goering wore. or are
you
talking about a short barrel chief's special?
