Shield .40. First 30 rounds out of the gun. 7 to 15 yards. 13 additional rounds, fired at the 7as fast I I could get a sight picture and with a full speed magazine change. Given I'd never handled the gun before this, I figure it will do... :)

Odd, we run the LC9s pretty hard in our Secondary Weapon classes and quals and haven't seen any issues with the triggers. Ruger made a couple of changes for the guns they sell us (no thumb safety, pinned front sight) but otherwise the guns are the same as the regular runs. My only concern with...

I've had 2 P3ATs and a P11. The P3ATs were ok but rough. The P11 spontaneously disassembled itself in my hand while shooting. I bought an LCP for my wife and the LC9 is on my department's list of approved BUGs so I bought one. The build quality on both is far better than the Kel Tec...

My duty rifle wears factory irons. My personal rifle runs a fixed front, LMT rear, and Aimpoint C3.

I recently qualified on the Department's big game rifle. We keep them on hand in case something big and nasty escapes the zoo and starts going all Godzilla on Midtown. It's a Rem 700 in 416 Rem Mag. I was a bit nervous before the first shot due to the instructors playing it up like it was the...

Unlike some of the posters on this thread, I have used 5.56 in an actual gunfight. I WILL NOT go into details, but it was immediately effective and created wounds any one of which would have been immediately incapacitating. Know where to put the rounds and hit what you aim at and it will do...

Having had the unfortunate experience of being in a gunfight I can state that there is no such thing as an "average gunfight." That said, I carry a spare mag more for malfunctions than for spare ammo. I carry 1 spare mag with either my 229 (13 rounds) or my 3953 (8 rounds) and one speed strip...

I am LE and its a bad idea. If my duty handgun ammo wont penetrate the cover, I can't take the shot anyway. If I can't see it, id it, and determine whats behind it, I can't shoot it. My duty ammo will go through a windshield, a car door, or a thin intermediate barrier like a interior door...

Class 3 remains the property of the agency, not the officer if it is a post 86. Purchased by the agency, for agency use, possibly "issued" to an individual officer, but when they leave the department, the weapon stays there.

I just received a package from Esmeralda Grips and could not possibly be more pleased. Photos will be posted as soon as my fiance returns with my camera she "borrowed." The grips are Ivory wood with a celtic cross and knotwork pattern carved into them. I put them on a Colt Combat Elite and it...

We used to issue a low recoil load for the shotgun. A few years ago we switched to a full power load without telling anyone. No one has complained or even noticed the difference, and we have some TINY female officers these days. There is a difference of course, but the perception of recoil is...

Keep it, it will cost you more than $500 to replace it in the future. Also, a large percentage of robbery type crime occurs in "nice" parts of town. That's where the targets are.

Varies. I usually carry 1 reload. Most days that's a J frame and a speedloader for 10 rds. Some days its my 229 and a spare mag for 25 rds. Some days it might be a 5946 with 2 17 rd magazines. Just depends on location I'm going, my wardrobe, and my mood.

Our shotguns generally look awful from being banged around and stored in racks, but most will never fire a hundred rounds through them over their entire service life. We get ours in, have a academy class or two use them to qualify in order to make sure they work and then they go to the field...

ZOMBIE THREAD!!!! RUN!!!! And four years later I will repeat my previous statement, all handgun rounds pretty much suck. Put a hole in something vital and caliber and load don't matter much.

Congratulations. I've never owned a 6946, but have handled one and my 5946 is one of my favorites. Smith did a fantastic job in providing a DAO trigger that while around 12lbs is very short, smooth, and with a quick reset. A good gunsmith can make them very nice indeed, but they were some of...

In response to the original question, I prefer the Glock 21sf to the XD. No real reason other than personal preference. I dislike the feel of the XDs grip safety and the 21sf feels better in my hand. I'm currently running my SF with the factory trigger spring and a 3.5 connector, but have run...

I would happily carry my 21sf on duty if the city would let me. Its not pretty, but its as reliable as a rock.

I must respectfully disagree with Ghost Walker. I'm a cop. A simple street cop. I'm not some kind of high speed, low drag "operator" type, I'm just a cop in a rough city. I carry every day, on and off duty and see the results of violent encounters daily. Any violent armed encounter will be...

Actually, if its a LEO gun its probably got plenty of holster wear but was shot very little. Police tend to shoot enough to qualify and that's about it. Heck, I like to shoot and probably only put 500 rds a year through my duty weapon. The Deputies here carried 96d Berrettas for a long time...
