They carry service pistols. The cartridges are stacked in a vertical magazine inside the handle; nothing revolves in this kind of gun.

Might prevent the tragedy a Boston 10 year veteran inflicted on himself while 'dressing' this month. He died from the self-inflicted wound. After 10 years on the force this argues for either abysmally (even criminally) poor training or just suicide. But still we would know that too.
