DAO revolver options

Investigators; prosecutors.....

In my view, I would not put anything past any police investigator or DA's office/State Atty prosecutor.
Id suggest reviewing the "Martin-Zimmerman" incident in Sanford Florida(2012). The Sanford PD detective, Chris Soreno stated, under oath that the law enforcement officers on scene first thought Zimmerman fired by accident or was reckless. Soreno later said he felt; pressured to put those accusations on George Zimmerman.

DAs & prosecutors want to win. Plain & simple. If saying you cocked a hammer or waved a pistol around threatening to cock a hammer gets them what they want in a trial or with the media, then so be it.

Author, sworn LE officer & legal use of force expert, Massad Ayoob has discussed this issue at length several times in the 1980s/1990s/2000s/2010s.

My real-life favorite is the "ballistics expert" who pontificates that "the bullet that killed Joe Slob is not inconsistent with rounds fired from the defendant's gun."

"Not inconsistent with"? What does that mean? Same caliber? Something sort of close? Kind of looked like? What it really seems to mean is that he has no darned idea what caliber the bullet is, what kind of gun the defendant had or whatinheck he is doing. But that kind of nonsense impresses a jury of the ignorant. (Which is why attorney's will not allow NRA members on a jury in a case involving guns.)

Almost as bad as the CSI investigator on TV who looks at the body from 20 feet away and tells his team that the deceased was killed with a 9mm Glock.

Police procedures.......

CSI NCIS Law and Order etc all seem to shrink LE methods & crime scene investigations to a 60min show.

I watched the film; The Call(2013), with major star Hallie Berry playing a frazzled LAPD 911 dispatcher.
In one scene towards the end a LA cop IDs the bad guy from a "partial print" that the police recover from a crime scene. They used a computer at the scene to process the fingerprints.
Also, the SID, the scientific investigation div, the real LAPD section that processes crime scene material is not going to rapidly scan or collate material that fast.

I know it's a feature film but even that was a stretch.

The big problem is jurors watch movies like The Call or series like CSI or Criminal Minds then ask why LE can't work that fast.

Well, swopjan has satisfactorily explained why he wants this type of revolver.
Just 'Cause.
Good enough.

There is only one reason for a full sized DAO Smith and Wesson, and his name is Jerry Miculek.

Seriously tho, the man shoots DA/SA revolvers like most IDPA shooters hose a target with their wonder racing 9s. Same number of shots, with the same accuracy!

If I wanted to join in the DA revolver range games, my choice would be the S&W 625 JM
