Can anyone tell me about this model? I seen one in a local shop NIB for $250. I haven't found much info on the internet. Thanks
The Mark III series was modified in the mid 1970's into the Mark V series
As the .38sp is still a highly reconized cartridge and a 4 inch revolver is touted as the best all around revolver size then how is the Metro obsolete?A decent but obsolete service revolver.
The Mark V mods were:
POPPYCOCK! That may be true if you are a total wussy!The weight of this gun with its .41 sized frame and bull barrel would also be objectionable for belt wear during an 8 hour shift.
Even more Bullspit.The original idea of the heavy frame and barrel was so that the officer could use the gun to club suspects into submission when shooting them wasn't warranted.
It's hard to imagine a stronger, sturdier, and more durable revolver than the Metro.
In it's .38 Special chambering, one would last about forever and two days.
were I a soldier or police officer I would want a semi-auto.
The individual you are addressing hasn't been around since June of 2006.I don't know, I like autos and definitely see the advantages in shape of reloads, capacity, whatnot, but I would feel really good with the 4" 686 I had for awhile, it had a brilliant trigger and was like a laser for me, plus those single-movement Safariland speedloaders are pretty quick.

uh if these were meant to be used as clubs wouldnt a shrouder ejector rod make sense?
