FROM THE NRA MUSEUMS COLLECTION
S&W Model 5946 in 9 mm Luger. As the World Trade
Center fell, D’Allara was one of the 71 law enforcement
of cers, along with 343 members of the New York City
Fire Department—as well as more than 2,800 other
Americans—who perished that day. His 5946, recovered
from the rubble next to his body, is on loan to the NRA
National Firearms Museum from his family.
These two warped and twisted rearms offer mute
testimony to the shared courage of these two of cers,
men who gave their lives helping others during a ter-
rorist attack that forever changed our nation. These
two hallowed handguns remind us of their sacri ce and
that freedom is not free.
—DOUG WICKLUND, SENIOR CURATOR, NRA MUSEUMS
