Just got these from JGSales. Grips were well worn. Replaced them with new from the factory. The revolvers are in perfect working order.
They are stamped C.A.I. Out of Georgia UT and I suspect they are Austrailian issued. Carried lots, shot very little. I call them the twins. They are Model 10-12's. 
This is my Model 15-4 with Pachmayr's. Found it on a dealers shelf still in the original box with the price tag of $187.50. I paid just a little more but it was worth it. I carried one in the USAF as a Security Policeman. 
This is my Model 586 BART Police trade in The side plate is nickel plated and stamped by the factory with the BART Police Patch. My understanding is only Lieutenants and above had the nickel plated side plates and everyone else's were blued with the patch. 
And lastly is my Model 28-2 Like new in the box, only a few rounds through it. Pinned and recessed. Still have the original small grips.

I carried a Model 28 when I first started on the job back in the late 70's. We had to supply our own sidearms back then. I was issued a Model 15 when I transferred to the S.O. in the early 80's....The finish was pretty well worn off by the time I got it and it needed a new rear sight blade and a grip screw, but it had the smoothest action of any S&W I have ever felt.... |

The Model 15 I carried in the USAF was in pretty good shape and very smooth. We were allowed to remove the standard service grips and replace them with the larger target grips. Later, just before I cycled out, Pachmayrs came out and some of use used them. |

I somehow feel rich and extravagant to own one. The BART Police 586 has virtually no wear whatsoever leading me to believe it did belong to a Lieutenant or above. The action is glass smooth. |

I think the previous owner did not like the orange insert front sight and added the patridge type insert. I have never seen that before either. |

Can I ask what kind of rear sight and base are on the 986? That is an LPA brand rear sight. It comes as one unit. Notch was a bit tight for me So I had it opened to up .130. Very well made item. Uses factory mounting holes. |

Qualified with the department today to carry this off duty
 The range officer didn't bother to count to see if I hit the required number of hits out of 40 rounds. He just marked the target "40 out of 40." Edit: qualified with 145 grain Winchester Silvertips, which are probably the hardest kicking factory .357 round I've tried. |
