I'm likely wrong about the handgun model.
"Service revolver" just sounds better than "service firearm" or "service pistol".
This guy like his film noir.
It sounds better, but hasn't really been a thing since the 80s.
There are still departments rolling around with 1911's, so it's possible that maybe they used a back-up pistol or a "service weapon" that is really his personal weapon deputized into the role. It's not necessarily advisable, but it's pretty cool.
