I have been involved in training as both the Feds as a Fed at FLETC and now as a local at my state LE Academy and have seen several thousand LEOs from all over While there are some squared away LEO’s the ones that are nobodies squared away with extreme firearms proficiency is outnumbered...

I can’t find the federal code however like wasp spray it states “not to be used on humans” (wasp says something in v similar and it can lead to blindness of eye contact) And bear spray has more oil and a thicker content so unless hih are as legal to use deadly force hih could be setting...

I have sprayed dozens of inmates inside Federal Penitentiaries and witnessed hundreds of issues (we averages 400 use of force incidents a year) I have only seen a couple jnmates be able to eat it. Prior to 2012 OC was not allowed to be carried by line staff yjen in 2012 whem we were we had a...

Well in theory no however real life as my blunt force trama statement. I have seen subjects take a well placed 45 acp JHP and while iyt of breath the Deputy still had to grab for his arm to cuff him. There is no absolute with thugs uiu have to shoot plus as mentioned they don’t exact atand...

Once again a great article by Mas. And like always it’s more about the driver than the car!!! While a high cap 9 has its merits the only reason it is as popular is there is a I’ll call it a “mindset” by a lot that the phrase “easier to shoot” means I can have super fast split times with lots...

While I won’t ever argue a 45 is ineffective and I carry one quite a bit. Your reference to the 457 I presume you are talking mid 1990’s? While the 45 is still a great round and several that have hit folks with 230 HST report it’s like using deer slugs they all are better these days (partly...

Tom Givens has probably the best data base through Rangemaster (I am a Rangemaster certified Advanced instructor) and in his civilian data base (of Rangemaster students) of 70 some shootings (67 wins 3 lost to forfeit as they didn’t have a gun and were executed) his average js just over 7...

Indiana changed from a 50 yard 60 round wual in 1999 to a 25 yard 8 round wual (they just dropped the 12 round 50 yard stage but kept it 6 shot revolver neutral) Thatlast revamp was 2018 and it is a 50 round qual out to 25 yards each stage is 10 rounds with 5 rounds per mag and required reload...

While somewhat improved and we all see them. Unfortunately only a few agencies out of some thing line 18,000 is anything with reduced/realistic vital scoring targets outside maybe specialty teams. Below is the Indjana Law Enforcement Target for the academy and about 50% of agencies use this...

Those folks that say that have never been mirandized and talk bold on cases like Zimmerman or Rittenhouse when they weren’t the ones sitting in jail til bonded out or going through a trial and not knowing til the not guilty verdict came down. Little different tjan after the fact or comfort if...

That’s the issue in the no cops left behind era. A standard B27 is huge and with all 8 ring and in counted as full value give someone a perfect or near perfect score. It’s a false sense of proficiency, However most 8 ring or even outer 9 are not anatomical correct and offer no true disabling hit...

I was involved at the same time. And you might agree with my observation. One of the issues is back in the late revolver days through the early 90’s with the autos there was incentive to shoot good. 1 It was drilled into our heads if we didn’t get it skne in 6 rounds we were dead. And there...

Headshots don’t always instantly disable attackers. I can not share it due to graphic nature (don’t want to get flagged) but I have one from Rangemastwr I use in my tactical anatomy class of a rebel in Africa hit in the face/head with a 7.62 Russian round. Other than the side of his face peeled...

It’s the principal of the thing. Despite domes thoughts you aren’t as out gunned as one thinks with a 6,8 or 10 shot auto as there are tons of cases where a good guy win with a revolver, 1911 or a 10 shot It also shouldn’t be the governments decision to tell you you can carry a 17 shot micro 9...

I am visiting my Son and grandson in Seattle for Christmas. And it’s the same way the extreme left has spread up I 5 and made everythjng expensive and in the big city (we are fortunately in a burn that is better as far as bums but still$$) What is funny I sent a pic of gas prices to a buddy and...

Not to get off topic but I will say this as someone that has worked in a school ad a protection officer/special deputy. It baffles me places still have or are creating an actual school Corp police (ISD) department. It has proven ISD’s do not work as school protection is not a traditional hearts...

One tj on ng that gets overlooked by all the teainjng and proficiency drills and all that that can’t be trained or made with adding a piece of gear. Heart and determination/Will. One has to have the will to do what it takes at the worst moment in genie life. And it sounds like you have...

As far as use as like in practice it can vary for example as far as agency required training NYPD had 2 quals a year and had around the often quoted 19% hit rate. LAPD shoots one wual every month and has around a 66-70% hit rate Bakersfield CA area required e wry one to shoot the Bakersfield...

It really wouldn’t be a hard thing tj deal with. Like “back in the day” they often “allowed” fokks if they met a higher bar on firearms profeciency (like way higher than minimum standards) to carry magnum rounds instead of 38’s or whatever brand of quality firearm or even gasp a cocked and...

While I get the issue and standardized benefits I wish all departments allowed personally owned firearms or give a choice of a couple different models. As far as the Glocl 40 cals there are a ton if them still since the 49 cal has fell from popularity. However if you get one you WILL HAVE TO...
