    My collection of NYCPD firearms is presented here.

    The actual collection is a byproduct of my first goal, which has been to write a book looking at NYCPD small arms development from 1895 onward. As I took pictures for the book, I found the easiest way to capture the images was to simply buy the guns as they became available. More than one cop went to retire in Florida with an extra few bucks from my need to get good images.

    The book is about 3/4's done. I've given a brief synopsis of the history of each gun shown here, but for a more detailed and excruciatingly thorough look at NYCPD armaments, you have to wait until I can find a publisher.

    One question I am often asked is about what guns the NYCPD issues. Technically, the answer is none, since almost all guns are privately owned. This is explained more fully here.

    Answers to questions I get most are located (where else?) in the Frequently Asked Questions area.

    The NYCPD first adopted a standard arm in 1896. My goal is to find one of every type of arm issued since then and document it.
