Affected officers will be required to attend three days of training to transition to a Gen 4 Glock 17 or 19 or Sig P226 DAO model.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004 more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2004\/12\/16\/nyregion\/in-new-york-oldschool-officers-swear-by-the-vanishing-38.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nypd-finally-says-goodbye-iconic-wheelguns\" title=\"NYPD Finally Says Goodbye to Their Iconic Wheelguns\">2,000<\/a> officers still used a version of the gun first commissioned by Teddy Roosevelt in 1896. Today that number has drastically shrunk as cops find themselves outgunned by criminals wielding semi-automatic handguns capable of holding 16+ rounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEventually, they&#8217;ll all be gone,\u201d Inspector Steven J. Silks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2004\/12\/16\/nyregion\/in-new-york-oldschool-officers-swear-by-the-vanishing-38.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nypd-finally-says-goodbye-iconic-wheelguns\" title=\"NYPD Finally Says Goodbye to Their Iconic Wheelguns\">said<\/a> of the revolvers over a decade ago. \u201cIt&#8217;s like people who like to have a stick shift. You take it away from them, they feel like they can never drive in the snow again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NYPD first adopted the 4-inch, .32-caliber <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coltautos.com\/DA\/NewPolice\/newpoliceci_463.htm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nypd-finally-says-goodbye-iconic-wheelguns\" title=\"NYPD Finally Says Goodbye to Their Iconic Wheelguns\">Colt New Police revolver<\/a> under Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt. Before that time officers could carry whatever sidearm they chose, but the future president believed standardizing permissible weapons would help end corruption and raise proficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The Department continued using a variety of revolver models until 1993, when, after much contention between the department, the unions, and state legislators, the NYPD decided to switch to semi-automatic handguns. They simultaneously stopped issuing revolvers, so the number of officers who carry six-shooters has dwindled every year, from 30,000 in 1993 to 150 today.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/top-five-revolver-myths\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nypd-finally-says-goodbye-iconic-wheelguns\" title=\"NYPD Finally Says Goodbye to Their Iconic Wheelguns\">Top Five Revolver Myths<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Officer Mark Steinhaue, who joined the department in 1991 and still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mark-steinhauer-a5b92992\/?trk=public-profile-join-page\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nypd-finally-says-goodbye-iconic-wheelguns\" title=\"NYPD Finally Says Goodbye to Their Iconic Wheelguns\">appears<\/a> to serve on the force, told the New York Times that people frequently comment on his choice of sidearm. \u201cThey say, &#8216;What are you, an old-timer? My answer to them is, &#8216;It worked for John Wayne.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s put me through 20 years, and I&#8217;m still alive,&#8221; said another member of the old guard, Officer Gregg Melita. \u201cThis is when guns were guns, and cops were cops,\u201d he said. \u201cThe new guys don&#8217;t even know what dump pouches are. They go, &#8216;Hey, what&#8217;s that hold?\u2019\u201d He chuckled. \u201c\u2019Bullets, kid.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the NYPD first switched to semi-automatic firearms, one of the main concerns was dependability. A revolver will still go off even if it\u2019s been left in a drawer for many years. Semi-automatics, the argument went, are much more susceptible to malfunction.<\/p>\n<p>But advancements in firearm technology and the last three decades of field experience have allayed many of those fears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou very rarely hear people talk anymore about their gun jamming,\u201d Deputy Commissioner Stephen Davis, the NYPD&#8217;s top spokesman, told the Daily News.<\/p>\n<p>Officers will be required to switch to the Glock or Sig models by August 31, 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Police Department is finally forcing some 150 officers to
