No, I don't know of anyone carrying .22 on duty. I was answering the question in general. Knowing what local PDs stock for training or duty isn't going to do you much good in an Teotwawki Type situation as that ammo is going to be securely locked up. If you have access to PD ammo, you will likely have access to PD guns as well.

.22 LR followed by 9mm then 45ACP. .38Spl is likely in the mix as well. There may be a lot of .40S&W in use by PDs, but most of that will be stored securely and unavailable.

Because you can doesn't mean you should. There is a level of maturity inherent in owning firearms. These bozos are demonstrating that they lack said maturity. I think that the 2A community could learn a lot of do's and dont's by examining the LGBT community and their approach to outreach. ETA: If I get swept by a muzzle by some chooch with a slung long gun in public I guarantee there will be hell to pay. If I am out with my family and I see Tweedle-Skinny and Tweedle-Fatty fiddlefucking with front sling long guns that appear loaded while approaching the establishment I am in, I am going on alert, getting my family out and getting ready to burn them down.

2 things - 1) It's never too late to fight for your life 2) I don't aspire to mediocrity So nothing bad happens when your fingers/hands are dirty or wet? Intriguing, I need to make sure that I am always cooking or gardening when I am home..... No one has ever saved their lives with a gun retrieved after an injury? Also interesting - I guess I should plan to give up as soon as things get ugly. Why pay the extra $$ for the gimmick just to use the backup buttons? You could buy 2 safes with regular electric/simplex/combo/key locks for the price of a bio safe and still have $$ left over for ammo and beer. Like I said, for a storage safe between range trips - groovy! Bio safes are fun toys. For storing HD weapons there are better, more affordable, and more reliable options. As always YMMV, IMO and all that jazz

It's not so much the lead from the actual bullets, it's the toxic fumes from the ignition of the powder and primer that you need to pull from the air. They aren't so much at the terminus of the bullets flight path, they are more at the point of ignition - 12 inches or so from your face.

Best of luck Shane. Thank you for your service in the positions you held! Cheers!!

I don't like any biometric safe as a "HD" safe that you will need to get into in a hurry - If your fingers are wet or bloody they don't work. For a standard safe to store firearms between range trips, they are fine.

¡Correctamundo!

Spot on about early mags. You needed to pull the mags out because they were not drop free. True about Robar, Bowie did the same thing. But they installed side "cut-out"s to facilitate mag removal. One thing a lot of folks are forgetting though is that in the full size and compact Glocks, there is still a "cut-out" in the front strap to use if you block the rear one with a plug. But, again my training and experience have demonstrated to me that keeping the trigger housing debris free is a higher priority than worrying about a stuck mag - this conclusion was reached after examining how many times I have encountered issues related to these two different problems and speaking with others about what they have seen go wrong with their pistols.

Check the Troy Bravo for a 1 piece free float full rail, and the Troy MRF and Charlie two piece free float with full rails. Also - Check Apex: http://www.apexhandguard.com They use a clamp on type attachment that uses a standard barrel nut. Note: I have no firsthand experience with this product, but have heard they are good to go. If it was my gun, I would get the DD Omega if I was keeping the FSB or the Troy Bravo if I was gonna grind the FSB. It isn't a matter of the rail fitting over the comp, it's a matter of the gas block and barrel nut fitting over the comp. In and of itself any rail should fit over most brakes/comps - caveat: some larger 3gun type breaks may be problematic. The brake becomes a problem when it is pinned and prevents you from removing the barrel nut or gas black to replace with a proprietary barrel nut or appropriately sized gas blocks for the rail installation.

Taught by whom? Regardless, that's poppycock. Yes, you lose the ability to get your thumb into the cutout designed to be used if a mag gets stuck. But you are plugging a hole that can allow dirt/dust/mid/snow/sand into the trigger housing and installing a rudimentary magwell. Win-win! In 10 years and 10s of thousands of rounds I have never ever had a mag get stuck and, if I did, I know other ways to get it out. I actually use PreZine plastic magwells on all my defensive/duty Glocks. They are cheap, lightweight, low profile for a magwell, fit all Glock floor plates (except the Vickers ones), and work well as a reference point for my hand when I initially grip my pistol the holster.

Classic checko

Why would you want to carry an unloaded gun? That's funny, I replaced my P2000 and P2000SK with a Glock 23 and 27......

2 more options to add to Vlad G's post: 3) Choose a two-piece free float rail that uses a standard barrel nut and doesn't require the removal of the gas block. 4) Use a one piece tube/rail system that uses the standard barrel nut and grind down the front site block to fit under the tube/rail.

From Geissele:

How much was it? I see them online for anywhere from $150-$400.

That's my local Lowes. You have link to the safe?

Looks like Flakoo is a wannabe thug: Great poster boy for our cause...

It's a reported 125-150 lumens in an old Insight M3X body. Why did you choose that over a modern more useful design like a TLR or X300u? Keep in mind that the plastic locking bar on those break like crazy. Call L3 now and ask for spares so when the gun goes flying off you can replace it right away instead of waiting for a week. I must have gone through a dozen of them on my M5 and M3 lights when I had one of those at work.

I have had great success with the Daniel Defense Omega rails which are two piece free float rails that do not require removal of the FSB or muzzle device. Troy makes a couple of nice options as well as MI. If you have a low-pro gas block installed before pinning your muzzle you can attach just about any one piece rail/tube with no issues.

Depends on the rail and it's install. Whatcha got?

I use channel locks for the bolt catch pin.

Not my problem Besides, it doesn't change what my choice is. The Trij HDs are almost identical anyway. And... They do make them for a G19

Neither the .45 CD or the .45 +P GDHP will penetrate soft body armor. Also, no pistol round is inherently guaranteed to take out anyone better or worse than any other handgun round - as handgun round are notoriously piss-poor at stopping baddies. Finally, at the bottom of it all is placement. A 9mm FMJ to the heart will be better that one of Uncle Cheeches Garlic Soaked .50AE Death Blossoms in the belly.

Same experience as MWPX, only Ameriglo Spartans are my preferred choice.
