When I started in LE we were issued 38 158 RN lead bullets cast and loaded by prison trustees. Or we could buy our own, (guess what I did).

When I retired they were issuing winchester 125 Grn HPs in 357 or 38 depending on what you carried. They had just started allowing autos and I carried a USGI 1911a1, and was issued 185 HPs for it. But I went back to the 357.

They, the Anchorage Police Dept. pretty much went to autos and I dont know what they issue now.
