Tampa PD Service Revolvers (1980s)

[Alfadog]

I've been thinking about picking up a 3" round butt K-frame and, having lived in the Tampa area practically my whole life, I am curious about the possibility of finding a Tampa PD gun. I seem to remember seeing most cops back then wearing stainless round butt K-frame revolvers, but I don't know whether they were 64s, 65s, or 66s. Could anyone tell me what revolvers the Tampa Police Department used during the 1980s? Also, were TPD guns specially marked?

I know there are tons of police surplus revolvers out there. Does anyone have any suggestions for finding guns from particular agencies?

Thanks in advance.

Call the Tampa PD and ask to speak to their armorer, and see if they can help you.

I don't know what to tell you. A search didn't turn up anything. Finding a surplus police revolver is easy, finding a specific police department revolver is going to be hard.

I have two police revolvers, both model 64's. One is a NYPD gun, the other is a Detroit PD gun. The DPD guns were never supposed to be sold in MI, it cas a condition of the sale. How this one came back I'll never know, but being a MI resident I couldn't pass it up.
