I could be wrong but I don’t think the Troop ever issued 681’s or nickel guns. I know there was a commemorative model 66, but I don’t think it was issued. They did issue I believe model 65 or basically a heavy/bull barrel model 10 chambered in 357 mag. I thought that was the last wheel gun OHP issued but could be wrong. Then they would let troops opt for digs, and I know several that went for the 220’s.I have a nickel 581. I thought they were OHP issue in the 80’s? At least I’m pretty sure it’s a 581? I’ll look when I get back to the office.
They were beautiful guns for sure and good shooters.I had a nickel 586 once. I wish I had never sold it.
IIRC there was also a 681 that was a commemorative to OHP Lt. Dan Combs.I could be wrong but I don’t think the Troop ever issued 681’s or nickel guns.

I didn't know these existed and now I need one, My great grandfather and Combs shot competition together, got a picture somewhere at my parents of them together at a match.There was a 681 commemorative and a 686 Dan Combs commemorative.
That’s cool. I got one up on ya though. I was friends with him. I was a little kid. I think he may have busted my butt once or twice. He and my father were good friends when he was in SW okla. I’ve got some pics of me with him. After I got older and started my law dog career, I was almost as fast as he was at snatching leather, and even mastered a couple of his demonstrations. He was a very fine man. I think there was also a model 66 in his honor as well. Thanks for reminding me of some fun memories from the sixties.I didn't know these existed and now I need one, My great grandfather and Combs shot competition together, got a picture somewhere at my parents of them together at a match.
586 is nickel plated.I took this on a trade last week and need to sell it. I'm not sure if it's SS or nickel plated. It is a 586 no dash. It is just the gun no box. For sale only. $750 I might be able to meet part way ,I'm in Ponca City. I would like to see an ID.View attachment 229018View attachment 229019
That is awesome! I have heard many a story about him from my old man who spent 30 years in LE and was a PPC Revolver competitor, even read a few that my great grandfather had written behind some old pictures…why did you have to tell me about the 66That’s cool.
