My Garand dates to Nov 1940. I like to imagine someone used it to take pot shots torpedo bombers at Pearl Harbor. But more realistically it probably banged around in the back of a truck at Fort Dix for a bunch of years.

I own two S&W pistols that I bought brand new and I have no idea what their CS is like because I've never had to deal with them. I also own a Sig 226 since new and never had to deal with Sig's supposedly awful CS either. All three of these firearms fall into their respective company's "new junk...

Are you planning on visiting Brownsville in Brooklyn or South Jamaica in Queens? I'm guessing you'll be in Manhattan somewhere below 96th Street, in which case all you need is common sense to not get into a situation where you'd need a gun. Enjoy your trip and remember that anyone selling stuff...

I think if the weapon predates 1898 an individual soldier can keep it. My friend recently got back from Afghanistan and thats what he told me. I'm not sure there are a lot of 19th century weapons out there to be had.

If no one has realized it yet, the NYPD is about as far behind in weapons as a major PD can be. We didn't go to 9mms until 1993, and at first they were with 10 round magazines. The Mossbergs are replacing Ithacas that have been in service since at least the 1980s. After 9/11 Ruger donated a...

My interest in mil-surp is purely historical. I have a Garand, M1 Carbine and a P-38, all WW2 vintage (actually the Garand is from 1940). The Garand and Carbine are excellent weapons and can probably shoot better than me. And I picked up enough ammo while it was cheap that I can still shoot them...

A guy I work with just left for Las Vegas PD and he was issued an XD45.

That looks awesome. I dumped the black synthetic furniture on my 870 for the walnut Police pieces and I couldn't be happier. Looks much classier.

I have an Express. I replaced the plastic trigger group with the metal Police part. I got it off GunBroker for something like 80 bucks. Pop out the two pins and it drops right in. As for the finish, I keep mine wiped down with CLP or Rem-Oil and it is trouble free.

Thank you guys. Especially for the link, I had seen that awhile ago and was trying to find it again.

Just as the title implies, what are the differences between a standard 870 Express and the Police model? I'm looking to upgrade my Express a bit and want to know what Police parts I could/should swap in.

I love my 3914. I carry IWB and hardly ever notice it's there. The DAO trigger is pretty good too.

I too joined the NRA today. I'm also going to get on top of my FOP dues. My, and most of your, way of life is going to be challenged by our new super liberal majority. Time to dig in our heels and never give up.

Here's my ex-NYPD Model 10-6. The serial number dates it to 1971. I figure this weapon saw action from 1971 to 1991, a pretty rough time to be a cop in New York. Judging by the look of it this gun and its previous owner saw no shortage of action.

I once caught a richocet from a .44 cal black powder pistol on my right thumb. Hurt like a bitch but didn't break the skin. I also had a .357 Magnum round bounce off a steel plate and hit me square in the nose. That drew a fair amount of blood. I'll never shoot without eye protection ever again...

My S&W 5946 has a great trigger. It's comparable to my old Model 10 and it's only going to get better with more use.

As far as NYPD goes, the last academy class issued Model 10s was in 1987. The last get the DAO Model 64 was in 1992. 1993 we switched to 9mm. Revolvers were available as off duties until 2000. All those guns are grandfathered in. The Model 10s are starting to get rare, the last one I saw was...

I don't want to kill the guy, so I'll shoot at him with a shotgun. This guy sounds brilliant.

I can't stand Bloom for a very large number of reasons, number one being his refusal to give the NYPD a decent contract. All his other liberal shennanigans and tomfoolery have just reinforced my decision to put him at the top of my "People I Want To Watch Die A Slow And Agonizing Death" list...

Two speedloaders were required. I don't know how common it was for guys to keep a few extra in the pockets.
