***Victory models were issued to AF tanker and cargo crews as late as Desert Storm.***

When flying combat missions off the coast of North Viet Nam (1968)I was issued a .38 COLT with six loose rounds sealed in a plastic bag.

Likely a Commando, which was Colt’s version of the Victory. Much smaller production numbers.

Six rounds should have been enough. ;)
