It actually is true. Apparently there is a lot more LE agency interest and orders for the COA than even Glock anticipated Of course the timing of this with the Sig 320 debacle folks are running with speculation that the US Military is the reason is probably jumping to conclusions

The AF doctrine is they do not use the thumb safety and never engage it. When we went from Midel 15 revikvers to Betetta M9 we carried round chambered hammer down then flipped the sa/Decick lever to fire so we have that first DA pull like our revikvers. (And every OD with the exception of LASD...

That changes nothing as the avalanche was already going. There’s enough documented video of holster pops with no fault of the user there’s an issue That said a retired OSI troop that is on the forum can chime in but I spent several years active duty AF Security Forces and saw OSI do their...

While skills on drawing, and all that are Important most folks don’t train or practice right. To them a gun is a fire extinguisher or like a security blanket. The majority if they shoot anything similar to a LE qual it’s not a timed course with large B27 type targets with unrealistic larger...

16 yards…WOW What’s funny about shooting skills and qualifications. Agencies (of states) come up with usually an annual “test” that proves nothing and is so simple folks are not forced to improve. But then again folks practice driving every day and we’ll look at even given street!

Indiana use to require a stage at the 50 yard line 50 rounds total and or 12 rounds stage at the 50. They dropped the 50 yard stage and 25 was the longest stage and went from 60 rounds to 48 around 1998 but my agency kept it. Not sure how long as I went to the Feds in 2000. They revamped the...

I don’t know Army regs but back in the 1980’s thwre was a medical skin condition (don’t ask me to pronounce it) but it was a thing with black dudes and the AF has shaving waivers. It still couldn’t be a GWOT SOF beard or anything. But a small amount was normal.

Also one thing to look at. Instead of that whole BS model of Run, Hide them fight last. These soldiers fought first and that obviously turned the tide as Ed Monk has said if you shut it down in the first 30 seconds uiu will most likely not have double digit victim count. Hih will never have...

While more facts are to come from what has been released Sounds more like a spontaneous act of anger. R he’s really that stupid for starting a shooting where there are probably some combat vets or folks that probably know how to fight! As far as the shooter having a gun I know the Army and or...

Yea however the side effect is 80 years later we are scrambling to keep them out of the hands of groups/countries that don’t have restraint! As shown with the B2 missions 6 weeks ago!

While striker fired stuff generally can run A LOT without cleaning if there is any concern or hih know it’s corrosive just clean it. No biggie.

It’s sort of sad (to me anyway) whem uiu look at all the nuclear alert bases we had in 1986 and now. We went from at least 12-13 B52 bases to 2 4 B1 bases to 2 and 2 F111 bases to none. Most have closed or went to tankers. I use to stop in Blytheville/Eaker but to see how dilapidated base...

This seems appropriate. Funny side note whem this album was popular I listened to it driving to my first duty station in the USAF. A B52 base with nukes on alert! How ironic

I really like the Meal M&P and I feel the 40 is better suited in a alloy or steel frame over polymer (outside the HK USP which was made as a 40 from the ground up) Great guns

I had 3 40 cal pistols. A S&W 4006 which my sample had absolutely no accuracy in it. Then I picked up a Para Ordinance Limited P16 for USPSA (whe USPSA had only 2 divisions and 2 power factors) The feed ramp was rather steep and had a habit of pushing the bullet into the case but it was...

The biggest issue with the 10mm is short of Tw Boutique rounds that most folks (if you regularly find these stocked your the exception as that’s it the situation in most of the country) uiu have to order ammo that’s loaded to true 10 mm ballistics like Buffalo Bore or Double tap etc. that load...

s&W just released their M&P Metal in 40, Dan Wesson released theor DMX in 40 there’s still some LE interest California HWY Patrol as well as South Dakota HWY Patrol and Illinois State run 40’s But all that aside thwre are so many 40 call guns out there it’s not going anywhere. Especially with...

No more than they cost I wouldn’t sell one to get another. There is usually sellers remorse with that. As good as the SA is the FB is pretty good and FN has been around for quite a while Get both and enjoy both and is uiu happen to like one better than the other then sell the one you don’t...

Good ole Strategic Air Command. I was in it from 1986-1992. I was at Malmstrom 91-93 and on June 1 1992 we went from SAC to Air Combat Vommand them a year or so later ACC didn’t want missiles because they wernt top gun like so we went to Soace Command. It was epic hell Ina. Hand basket whem SAC...

A lot of folks take offense but for gun games yeah strikers and SA are great. For taking people prisoner or personal protection I like hammer fired TDA or HK LEM (HK LEM is the best of both worlds) A DA makes you make a deliberate decision and is no more harder than a striker to maser but...
