This is all well and good, but we are talking a duty weapon here, not target practice. That extra 1 inch won't mean diddly when the fur flies and you find yourself ducking, running, breathing hard, tunnel vision kicking in wil auditory senses cutting out and praying you don't get killed before...
Having sat in a cruiser for over 20 years, I can tell you it's all about comfort. Started career with revolvers, went to S&W 645 and then to Glock 19 . All Dept. issue. The 645 shot great, but was the worst for carry. The Glock 19 was for on and off duty use. Cops can be lazy and if it's...

I do not belive that to be true. I own both a Brazilian 1937 contract S&W and a new model 22. Both fire sub 2" groups at 25 yards with 1977 Gov issue ball ammo, and do better with match ammo. S&W 45 ACP revolvers were at one time used as match revolvers and certainly the government would not...
