First encountered a Denver PD Sgt in 1993 wearing a SW Mod 19 in a cross draw rig when I was working Technical Security Division for Secret Service. Asked him if he was worried about weapon retention wearing a cross draw rig. We walked in a close room alone, he drew the weapon unloaded it, let me check it to show it was clear and he holstered it...... He then invited me to take it from him and shoot him..... I declined so he drew the unloaded weapon and handed it to me and said “pull the trigger” ...... when I went to open the cylinder to be sure it was safe, I could not open the cylinder. He took it and opened the cylinder, showed me it was clear and closed the cylinder and said just dry fire it ...... couldn’t pull the trigger, couldn’t cock the trigger or open the cylinder. He took it back and dry fired it rapidly, cocked the hammer 2 or 3 times and opened the cylinder again . Now in my duuuuuhhhh moment explained the magatrigger design. On one hand he had a academy ring and the other his wedding ring ..... the magnets were embedded in his jewelry. His revolver was able to be used by either hand and by him only.

I had two of my revolvers on the way for the modification a week later. Still have em. A SW model 13-3 and a SW Model 37 Airweight ........ At least 2000 rounds through each over the years of 158gr LHPWC Federal ...... still works flawless.

I highly suggest at least one revolver be modified if ya can. I like em.
