LASD; Model 15?
Hello all,
I figure this is a shot in the dark, but I'll give it a try. My friend just retired after 34.5 years (Class 220). He, to his now regrets, did not get his Model 15 when we converted over to Berettas. He still wants a model 15, preferably an LASD one. Anyone here with a lowdown on one, or one they want to get rid of? Like I said, shot in the dark, but gotta try. Thanks.

You can also do the single action exemption thing to get one in to CA depending how much trouble you're ant to go through to get one. |

Oh, definitely that route, but also looking more along PPT at this point too.
Found one for him, but it was LAPD (per seller's belief), but I think he's also open to any Mod15 at this point. Lol. Thanks!

The LASD Model 15s are really hard to find. I purchased mine and will never sell it. It is a great shooter.

A question from the unknowing.
Are LASD guns of that era marked? I have an LASD S&W 15-2 that came from a former bailiff. While the gun has her name on sticky tape on the butt. I do not see any LASD markings. Might it be under the Hogue Mono Grip? P.S. Gun was a gift from a dear friend and won't be sold for that reason and it shoots very well.

^^. Same as I recall too. Never saw any special markings. I think he just wants the 15. He got his beretta, M&P and an Ithaca in the raffle. I already contacted logistics and they don’t have anymore.
Was able to find some Model 10’s from Santa Barbara PD that are nice, but he’s still hard set on a 15 (definitely don’t blame him). Well, thanks all and if anything changes, please let me know.

Some were marked “LASD” with a number on the side plate under the cylinder, some were not. Mine is marked. OP, try gunbroker. An active LEO can still get one shipped from out of state.

I was the second academy class that they issued a NEW model 67. After I graduated, I carried a model 586. So, although my revolver fired several hundred LRN bullets, it still looks new.
6" model 586 with a Hoyt holster..A good combination. |

The LASD M15 can be fired DA and SA. The LAPD M15 was 'neutered' and is DA only. That is one way to tell. The CDCR M15 went on sale recently and a dealer had one in Moreno Valley but only for 'out-of-state' sale only. Its gone now.

If you get a LAPD version, I can make it DA/SA again. Just let me know.

Sold the ones I had a couple years ago. A 2" Model 10 4" Model 15 and Model 60. A friend who was Custody Deputy at Industry Station sold them for a retired friend of his. I bought them all when he said $150 for the lot. None were marked LASD so I don't know if these were ones he bought personally.

I don't know when LASD started issuing M0del 15's but some of them are C&R's. The Model 15-2 was introduced in 1961. So many are roster exempt. There are a good number of 15-2's on Gunbroker which are roster exempt.
Finding a LASD marked one would probably be next to impossible. Maybe get a unmarked one until he can find a marked one!!

Don’t know where to find an LASD model 15 anymore, but my uncle has a “Los Angeles County Sheriff” Winchester .30-30. I’m hoping he will part way with it to me.

I am willing to bet that if a good levergun was approved for patrol use, some would carry them today. It would certainly be a capable weapon in trained hands.

Mine is marked L.A.S.D. also in the same place as Ron's. Mine was a used one as could be seen by the small piece of metal missing from the left side of the rear sight. I immediately determined it would be prudent of me not to mention the missing chip, nor request another one to be issued.
I bought it like others bought theirs and still have it and occasionally shoot it. I will admit, even while still on the dept., but years after we went to the 92F, I had to use fluorescent nail polish on both the front and rear sights due to my aging eyes. Never had one problem with the gun. It went bang when the trigger was pulled. |

I was lucky to get mine toward the last part of the program. It looked kind of worn, but when I checked the mechanism, it was pretty solid. Many people refinished their shotguns, but I kept mine as is. It looks like a warrior.

I can remember when the mountain cars used to carry Winchester lever guns in .30-30. It was in the early to mid 70’s.

Does anyone know what became of those guns? Long ago like in a Gun Digest book there was an article that talked about them.

I meant the stampe number on side. I would love the original owner to be with it. Its a great gun with the appropriate wear on it shoots like a 1911, well damn near if you find the sweet spot.I will return it to iits owner if he or she can provide proof. I bought it at a gun show much as I love it one person can take it from me.

I'll ask my friend if he has it written down of the one he was issued.
As soon as he got off training, he got a 686 and turned his back in. 30+ years later, and still kicking himself. And of the readings I see on this thread, the ones that kept it love them. I got the revolver fever now too. Actually sending a bunch of cylinders in for moonclipping. But my older K-frames I'm leaving alone. Again, thank you all for the input, and stories of your pieces.

Chuck Connors was an American actor, writer and professional basketball and baseball player. He is one of only 12 athletes in the history of American professional sports to have played both Major League Baseball and in the National Basketball Association.
Interesting fact I just learned about. Chuck was also the first professional basketball player to be credited with breaking a 'glass' backboard. BTW, he was 6' 6" tall. |
