Many (too many) years ago, I knew a police officer in Virginia. His issue duty gun was a beat to heck Colt OP. One day he was standing beside his car when I noticed the square notch in the front of his holster. I asked, with a smile, what part of the OP fitted that hole. He laughed, reached through the open car window and opened the glove box. He told me that when he reported for duty, the OP rode in his holster, but when he went on patrol, the Colt went in the glove box and THIS went in the holster. THIS was a Combat Masterpiece.
FWIW, the .22 version was produced for officers who carried the .38 Combat Masterpiece or the M&P and wanted a .22 for a training/practice gun.
