The only issue for me is that it has a safety, and has an 8 round magazine. Otherwise, mine is the funnest, and most accurate shooting handgun that I own. I'm so used to my Glocks now, and it's easy not to have to think about flipping off a safety in a stressful situation.

I would for sure recommend a lawyer to fight it, don't plea. I think if the arrested person could prove he/she really didn't know the gun was there, and the car was registered to someone else, a reasonable jury would drop the charge. As others have already stated, it would be a great help if...

Ar-15 style .223 would be my choice, due to it's longer range capability and accuracy. I figure the close up encounters are involving the handgun anyway. A 12 gauge shotgun is great, but doesn't due well with distance for shot placement.

My department issues the Glock 21, 22, or 23, depending on hand size. If you have small hands, the 23 would likely be the best choice. The other benefit is that it is a bit smaller than the others, and off duty carry would be easier with it. I'm not sure what your choices are, but out of...

Don't hate me for posting the opposite of most on this topic. To start off, I have to say that I am a current LEO that works for a city department, so perhaps I have a different perspective. Someone in a previous response asked for an LEO to comment. Sorry in advance to offend, if it does...

At least they LOOK different! I like the OD green version. Good choice, my Glock 21 is my best shooter.

I have the DPMS SASS and it shoots .308 cal. I'm curious if DPMS has the option of one or the other, even though they are nearly the same. I could see where the military would prefer the 7.62 Nato round.

There a few sites that list the following course for the FBI handgun quals, but none that I have that list a 50 yard string of fire. FBI Pistol Qualification Course This standard, revised April 1997, is used to qualify both agents and instructors. Target: FBI "Q" Ammunition: 50...

I echo many of the same posts above. I don't open carry for these reasons. 1. I don't want to display that I am an officer, for fear of being targeted just for that reason. 2. I like to have the "surprise" advantage if I do need to draw my weapon in a situation. 3. Washington is for the...

There is discipline in A Soldier you can see it when he walks, There is honor in A Soldier you hear it when he talks. There is courage in A Soldier you can see it in his eyes, There is loyalty in A Soldier that he will not compromise. There is something in A Soldier that makes him...

To mljdeckard: WELL STATED!

I have the DPMS SASS .308, department issue. I have at least 600 rounds through it so far. The rifle has been solid as far as quality, but two issues still exist. The magazines that come with the rifle cause feeding problems, but only on occasion. I have had issues where it doesn't feed a...

1. The department owns my primary sidearm. 2. I take my sidearm home, some officers do not. It's your own choice. 3. We are allowed to carry a backup. Nothing smaller than a .380 and anything you want as long as the range officer deems it safe and appropriate. 4. Backup weapons are...

.38 +p. I carry in a SW 642 because it is lightweight, small, and has enough power to change someone's bad behavior. I had a Taurus .357 5 shot, but it kicked pretty dang bad.

I carry one of two options off duty. A SW 642, or a Glock 27. Just depends on what I am wearing. I carry the glock off duty using a clip draw with a trigger block, or sometimes in a Kydex paddle. I carry the SW in a cheap neoprene IWB holster on my hip or on the ankle if I'm wearing pants...
