I THINK it was since the first couple of episodes but not 100% sure. I'd have to watch the reruns sometime.
Not sure but while it looks shiny, I doubt I would want that. You certainly don't want it giving away your position in any combat situation.
Makes sense. If your weapon is taken, you have a backup somewhere else. 1911 has 7 round clip, 1 in the pipe. 357 was probably 6. Faster reload with magazine.

Well that is what he said.
In My mind after mastering your Duty Weapons it is better to know a bit about a buch of different Weapons if you can as you never know when some tiny bit of knowlege can save you.
I have a 357 Stainless Steel Ruger Blackhawk. It is by no means polished but in the bright sun the reflection off of the Barrel is bad depending on where the Sun is making sighting iffy.
I stripped the Gun and taped part of the Barrel and the Sights with Duct Tape and bead blasted the upper surface of the Barrel and the upper part of the Frame.
I was lucky I worked someplace that had the Bead Blaster making it a cheap fix.
In the past I have seen the Police with Stainless Steel and even nickle plated Guns. Now a days they seem to have gone more tactical.
Again in the Past one of the City Police Officers told me they were allowed to carry and Gun above 9mm (not .308 type 9mm) and 38 special that they could qualify with and were willing to carry.
But, back far enough were Drugs and Gangs were not a serious Problem and Criminals were not so well armed.
