Seems like some things are universal. We had one female that had to be written out of the Academy as she wasn’t able to read and understand English enough to understand the curriculum or take tests. They then tried to put her in the radio room answering phone calls. Yep, you guessed it, she...

I agree. Over the years I have collected several Smith and Wesson revolvers. All of them have been flawless. I have no idea how a custom center pistol ever gets out of the factory, let alone having to be sent back three times. Also, the Crimson Trace optic has a shroud that they recommend to...

We forget about other calibers outside the usual conversation. One of my favorite guns is an Sig model 239 in 357 Sig. As an aluminum frame gun it is heavier then the newer polymer frame guns out there, but the slight increase weight helps the hot Sig round to shoot close to the 9mm rounds. The...

My Department was over 700 sworn officers. My point was why take any chances at all. We already had instances of husband and wife teams going out for recreational shooting and having one spouse load the wrong ammo in their spouses gun. As for “theoretical,” why take any chances. Why introduce a...

Dang Wirenut, you bring back great memories. I had one and had many hours of fun shooting tin cans in the woods.

That would be ok for civilians, but for police, in a gunfight where an officer may give a magazine of ammo to another officer, the result could be fatal. We actually showed this to our recruits. The 9mm will fire once in the 40 S&W. But in the large chamber of the 40, the 9mm case will over...

I agree with so much as what has been said in this thread. Civilians and police officers carry firearms differently. The civilian wants a smaller firearm for concealment; the police officer carries his/her’s openly and therefor can carry a larger and more powerful caliber. When I retired as a...

I have the one out of the Performance Center which is ported. It is my favorite carry piece. I put a rubber, over the grip, grip adapter and it shoots like a 9mm.

Look at the model 38. I have one and it’s a great carry piece where the hammer is shrouded, but open so you can still shoot single action.

Sig 229 in 40 S&W. Nice gun but I have too many already in the 9mm and 45 acp. to miss the in-between caliber.

What part of “Illegal Alien” is confusing. You either belong here legally or you do not. Veteran are living on the streets while Illegals are being put up in hotels, given medical care and other monitory benefits. You constantly hear the libtards talking about “who will pick the fruit. Who will...

I recently decided to pick up a new CCW. I decided on the S&W 9mm, sub compact with the ported barrel and red dot. Something nice from the custom shop. When it arrive I found the trigger would bottom out on the overtravel stup and not fire. The store sent it back to Smith and Wesson and I was...

Although I haven’t been camping in years, I’ve always kept my various Coleman lanterns and stoves. Some run on the small propane bottles while others run on the Coleman fuel. They have come in handy a few time that our house has lost power during stormed. Also, don’t forget the little things...

In hot weather I carry a S&W model 38. It weighs in at around 15 Ounces, unloaded, and has a shrouded hammer. You can still cock the hammer for single action, but the shrouding keeps the hammer from snagging on clothing. I carry in a pocket holster in my front pants pocket. Much more comfortable...

I also enjoyed the article. Here in Maryland in the summer it can get really hot and muggy. I have a S&W model 38 that I can carry in a pocket holster. Shorts and a tee shirt with no printing in my pants pocket. And at 15 ounces unloaded, easy to cary comfortably all day.

In my thirty-six years in LE, with over thirty as a firearms instructor through local and federal agencies, I have learned that there are three types of instructors. One type is where someone goes through a basic class and is deemed “competent”. The second is someone who wants to be known as...

What we taught in Anne Arundel County P.D was a training technique where the shooter was about two feet from the hanging bad guy target. As the officer used their secondary arm to conduct a palm punch to the aggressors nose-painful and causes tearing of the eyes-the officer’s strong side of the...

I don’t think you can ever have too many. To me, they each have a certain personality. Each is different from their siblings. I have thirty plus handgun and I wouldn’t part with any of them. I simply enjoy shooting. From a young child shooting with grand dad, through my career in law...

Hi Allen, sorry to hear about you,re getting shot and ending your career. I came on in 1979 and worked through the academy to be rewarded with being able to be field trained byour previous Office of the Year. My Department was Anne Arundel County, in Maryland, we have just over seven hundred...
