The issue with small sub duty use calibers is they are not suppose to perform as good as full size duty cartridges in ballistic test. To expect the same is asking a lot. They are whem hih are not wanting to carry a full size gun just in case. But as pointed pick the best round hih thjnk and...

In the last 30 years with service calibers (9mm,40,45 and 357 Mag or Sig) Two things that are most inflated on fights. Reloads, (only one in the private sector ring has ever been documented per Tom Given Rangemaster) and over-penetration. the only one I know of is when someone shot a person in...

Out of those choices the Hornady Critical Dity hamds down (I am not restricted and like the round and Texas and Kansas Teoopers as well as FBI and US Marshals sort nap a lot of felons with it) That said ball isn’t as ineffective as people think. And it doesn’t over penetrate like the fear is...

While I don’t disagree the 9x23 should have been better received the problem was in the 90’s there were a ton of cartridges trying to make a name. With the 40 being the established hotness yjen and Probably the other two more popular new kids (as far as adopted by LE) 357 Sig (USSS, NMSP, VA, TN...

Also for anyone that runs 38 Super here is a great source of ammo. I personally run a lot of High Deswrt Carteidge and have found it to be some of the best made. Accurate and quality ammo arounds. Below is their 38 Super offerings Also if it shows out of stock give him a call, they will...

Why the 72 hour rule is a thing!

Perhaps it’s time to suggest Springfield Armory to make a 4 1/4” Garrison in 38 Super with that nice ramped barrel woth a supported chamber for like minded folks.

Hard pass. At over a Grand and even if it was half nothing it does that one of my many K or L frames don’t do. And I was around when the Dan Wessons were somewhat a thing. A couple guys shot the same gun in PPC snub then 3” service then a 6” just swapping barrels. While a neat feature like the...

The 38 Super deserves to be more popular than it is. It’s a great round. Also funny what’s old was new again in 1995 what brought the 38 Super to being in the late 20’s is sort of similar to the 357 Sig and the ballistics are pretty darn close.

In the USAF we qe Entrained in the FBI method.(like Jerry Miculik reloads) and I found it extremely easy and fast. That said whem I worked Municipal LE the couple guys I knew that went past 6 rounds went to theor snub backup carried behind the speed-loader pouches. And this was outside...

I presume this was the uniformed USSS. They are like a whole different agency and are pretty solid. Especially their specialty teams.

People being people. It’s the same BS with optics vs Irons, 9 vs 45 etc. people invest their ego with gear way to much .theres good and bad of both.

I spent 2 years at Malmstrom in the early 90’s. Not sure how it’s broke down as squadrons were assigned and moved but we had a Security Forces Group (341st SFG) comprised snot 4 squadrons that handled nuke security with around 1,100 troops. then a separate Security Police Squadron that did base...

Back jn 1992 I was stationed at Malmstrom AFB Montana and the 10mm was fairly popular. We hosted a match wor Police Week and some schmuck local cop from around Dillion had a S&W 1006 but said his son packed the wrong ammo and he had 40 cal. He ran it and it actually worked bur yeah I wouldn’t...

Most all I mentioned are under a Geand with the FN545 at 799 in my. Edmond the woods

Some people are full of themselves, and fellow LEOs are some of the worst I hate to say but it is what it is!

Well if I did and you called me on it I wouldn’t go on about how thick skinned I was while at the same time being upset LOL (Note in 40 years of Military LE and Corrections usually the ones that have to tell everyone how hard they are or don’t be a snitch rookie or they hate criminals are the...

That apparently only happens when someone is told they should move!

Didn’t we have this in the BUL Armory back in the late 90’s? I’ll pass. If you want a double stack 45 with more than 10 rounds hard to beat the HK USP, Glock, FN 545 or FNX I believe the Fn 545 has about the most ergonomic grip of all of them!

Yeah I am having phone issues it’s check it but then it changes back to alien I’ll try and do better
