Yep, the problem was the "service" ammo. The 58 had magna stocks, and shooting it was brutal. A friend cracked a bone in his thumb with one. And this was just before the cultural swing to auto pistols for LE. Dallas PD issued the 58 for a brief time, and in the one shooting I remember, the scrote was hit once above the belt buckle, and quickly assumed room temperature without further incident.
Trivia: The Hurst Tx. PD was the first in the nation to issue autos. Issued was the Colt Combat Commander in satin nickel.
Trivia: The model 58 was incredibly loud when touched off in an empty bar room without warning. Don't ask me how I know this...
