From my perspective Glocks are the best for the purposes of my agency. I hated Glocks until I went to the Police Academy with a Glock 22. HK was it for me. I was an experienced shooter, but over half of my class had never fired a gun (yes, that should scare you). In a matter of a week a...

We recently authorized personally owned rifles for Patrol use. As such, we conducted a Patrol Rifle class and send two instructors (myself included) to the Rifle Instructor School. We were provided with several brands of equipment to test, including two S&W M&P 15 AR-15 rifles. Here are the...

My agency just authorized personally owned rifles for duty use so we have been going through some training and testing. We were provided some rifles and gear to test for the agency and as such I have been writing up evaluations on items. I thought this would be a good place to post the evals...

Arizona has had some recent changes to the self defense laws. Most notably, the burden of proof has been moved from the defendant to the state. We, the state (LEO's, prosecutors) now have to prove someone was NOT defending themselves. Before, the defendant had to prove they were defending...

Glock is taking LE orders right now for the 22 and I believe the 17. Other models will have to wait. They are still around 200K units behind in production (they can only import so many). I am excited for the factory to get up an running. As of a couple weeks ago they were still hoping/planning...

Anyone can drop ammo off at my Agency for destruction. We get quite a bit every year. When we get it enough the bomb guys take it out and blow it up. It is a quick and easy process.

I would wait. Actually, I am waiting (for the 4th gen 35). Interchangable backstrap, reduced recoil (triple spring rated for over 10K rounds), reversible enlarged mag release, short frame dimensions without backstrap add-ons. It might be a year before we get the models we want, but with the...

I will admit, I love to Dura-Coat and Cera-Kote guns. I especially enjoy taking beat up guns and making them look brand new. Having tried my hand at this, I really appreciate some of the camo jobs. It looks like they are very good at what they do. That said, the Lavender 92 and pink Ruger...

Okay, I didn't want to give bad information so I just called up to dispatch to make sure I was right. Turns out I was mostly correct. I gave you good info in the last post, but the check I thought we did was wrong. In Arizona an Officer has to request a specific check in ACIC for CCW status...

In Arizona CCW status is included on the MVD database. However, when we (any LEO in AZ) run our usual wants/warrants/DL check it does not come up. We have to request one step farther on the check. So on a normal stop we are not advised of a CCW. Also, in AZ you are not obligated to advise...

Scottsdale Gun Club in the East Valley (Phoenix area) for a huge selection of Tactical and self defense weapns and the largest indoor shooting range. Cabelas in the West Valley (Glendale). If you have never been to a Cabelas it is worth the trip. In North Phoenix you have Ben Avery shooting...

For some nice woods grips try Ahrends grips: http://ahrendsgripsusa.com/ For wood grips, I don't know that you will find a better variety. Some of their grips are sold through Brownells too.

Photos! Come on, someone must have better search skills than me. I need a photo of the new (not RTF) interchangable backstrap Glock 17/22. It is out there somewhere.

Jason G, you are right, I am basing my opinion on two particular guns, which is a pretty narrow field of view and not fair to the brand as a whole. All guns are prone to issues, however, when the $2500 super custom uber pistol has the same problem after 250 rounds as the $400 pistol that does...

The Smith does offer a better warranty with the industries best customer service. The pistol will include more options... but it won't be a classic and the Colt will hold its value. If I was collecting, I would take the Colt. If it was for regular use I would get the Smith.

They can make anyone a better shooter. The most accurate handgun I have ever fired. Both in the full size and officer variant. However, the tolerances are very high, and that is problematic. One (my fathers) has had to be repaired twice at SGC with permission from Nighthawk. The plunger tube...

Wow, that was awesome. Jad0110, thanks. That made my day. I almost think that is too obvious to be a mistake. There must be a couple of disgruntled employees in the works for that to be pulled off. That or someone got a few high fives and free beer for pulling off an awesome prank... right...

I have a Glock 22 which I have used with a factory 357 barrel and a Lone wolf 9mm barrel. The 357 ran without issue. The 9mm had a couple of problems using an aftermarket 33 round mag. It ran through a couple hundred rounds without issue using both factory and aftermarket 9mm mags. I was still...

Thanks for asking Mags. No, I am not referring to the RTF Glocks. The new Glock, which is rumored to be released in November to LE and at the Shot Show to the general public, will be a Glock 17/22 slim frame with an interchangable backstrap. There are supposedly some other changes, but I...

Another for the Glock 30. I think you will be hard pressed to find a better combination of size, capacity, weight, and reliability. You can carry it 10+1 and a Glock 21 mag for the reload.
