I asked my uncle-in-law, who was a B-52 commander/pilot in SAC and flew in operation "Chrome Dome".

He said they were issued the standard S&W .38special. However, there was not much emphasis placed on its use, by the military or the men. They figured that if they had to go to war, they were not coming back.
