Man, I remember Fort McClellan -- that's where we got sent for SRT training (SWAT school) since my branch (Navy) didn't have its own MP schools (we went through the AF's security police training for initial training, these days, Navy has its own Master at Arms "A" School). I just remember thinking the Army had all its bases in the armpits of the South (before an individual augmentee Iraq deployment, I got sent to Fort Jackson to be reminded how to shoot guns, in the summer, phew).
Same here. I do see a bit of bashing of the TN pistols on the internet, not sure why this is trendy, I'm not seeing any credible documentation that the Gallatin pistols have out of the ordinary issues.
It's funny; while still on AD, I was a reserve on a department that authorized the 5906 (around the time the military was transitioning to the M9), it was generally respected, but the more senior officers, when they got the choice, all went out and purchased their own SIG P-226s. Strangely, a bit later, the department issued the Ruger P-85 to its academy classes; that didn't last long after everyone discovered what POSs that pistol was. Concurrent with the military's transition, the 92FS became popular in SoCal law enforcement. Bottom line for me was, I was never bothered by the slide-mounted safety-decocker.
