Characteristics
The Model 15 Combat Masterpiece was in common use with police and private security officers from the 1950's to the 80's. The Model 15, and later the Model 67, was issued to officers of the L.A.P.D. for many years. It was, at the same time, a standard issue to pilots in USAF as well as the Air Force Security Police. It was a counterpart of the Smith & Wesson Model 10 with adjustable sights and a "target" action. It was discontinued in 1999, but a stainless version,Smith & Wesson Model 67 is still in production. Chambered in .38 Special only, it has only 25% power of the modern .357 Magnums. This gun is the ancestor of the Smith & Wesson Model 19.
