To the point. Some 38 special revolvers (I belive S&W) saw limited US service (I think with the Marine Corps) in the early 1900s. It is also well known that Colt made "Commando" version of its Official Police during WWII. In about 1974 I remember seeing Air Force MPs carrying .38 special revolvers, also a jet pilot I talked to told me they were trained with Smith & Wesson .38 specials.
Kind regards,
Jani
