I find most recreational shooters are more adapt that a lot of LEO. I find a lot of LEO are not gun guys and its just another tool on their belt.

The ban is 7 rounds right? I would love to try and qualify with a S&W .357 revolver! I know with a little practice (using auto's for 20 years) and several speed loaders there would be no problem!

 

I carried a 681 for the first 5 years of my career.. You make do with what you have available.

Anyone willing to look at this topic with an open mind will learn. Learning from others is a great thing! BTW....from reading the posts I believe that a lot of the participants are every bit as adapt at handling their firearms (if not more) than a lot of LEO's I work with!

 

Most municipal guys, especially in the northern half of the state, dont shoot any more than they have to..if the Agency offers extra range time, or training, they'll take it, but msot guys wont do it on their own..some agencies and departments actively DIScourage guys from getting outside training, or even shooting their duty weapon (Requirements to shoot nothing but Issued Ammo). If you want to see the difference, go to a USPSA or IDPA match..but leave your ego at the door, because there's a 13 year old girl that will probably smoke you LOL. I offered dozens of times for guys to come out an shoot matches, or even just hit the range to make some noise..very vew ever even took me up on the latter, and none on the former.
