This is a great point I never considered and it will probably be what makes me embrace pistol optics eventually. But for now I'll keep being a fudd with my stock G19 and the same night sights I've...
I'm not an impulsive fat shamer. But I have noticed a lot of FIs and gun guys in LE who are always pushing a new piece of gear to gain a marginal edge in performance, are also the guys who seem to be...
I've seen some issues that were very obviously limp wristing from a couple of agents whose only experience was with the old SIGs. But the guns themselves were in perfect working order.
Ammo is...
That's news to me. They're just stock Gen5 blue labels with no goofy features or modifications. Ours have been running fine.
I don't fit into the age demographic to call myself a boomer but i have to side with the boomers on this one. Having gone through both a state LE academy and CITP in relatively recent memory I can...
Sounds like a scare tactic thought up by some HQ bureaucrat who’s trying to discourage 1811s from moving to greener pastures. I hope that tactic doesn’t catch on at other agencies.
I'm curious to see if a new trend will emerge in more liberal states and large cities, where proactive patrol would just be eliminated altogether. Replace traffic enforcement with mass implementation...
Granted my perspective is narrowed by my own experience. But it seems like there's a trend of 5-10 year officers/deputies leaving their original agencies for either higher paying state/local LE jobs...
Im currently at Glynco for an advanced course. We got put up in a local hotel for the duration. No roommates. If you don't have a POV or rental car, then you'll have to take the FLETC shuttle bus to...
We have a pretty outdated policy for this. We qual with the same frangible ammo we use for proficiency fire throughout the year. Duty ammo cannot be expended unless its for real world use. The duty...
The biggest complaint I have going from local LE to the feds is the GOV policy. As a local detective, I could use my unmarked car for personal business anywhere in the city so long as I had my creds...
Has anyone ever seen someone with this kind of black mark on their record get flagged for Giglio? Obviously this isnt a case of her lying in sworn testimony, but such a blatant lack of integrity...
My inputs are purely anecdotal, so no help here. I feel like if anyone has put serious time/money into researching this, it would be the handful of police uniform/gear suppliers out there. But I...
I'm not sure what came of this 320 program. But I can now officially say its not OSI's doing:

I suppose I'm a part of the exodus. I loved my job in local LE up until the 2020 shenanigans post-George Floyd. I was a cop 4 days a week and a national guardsman 4 or 5 days a month. When I was out...
I think this is an extremely valuable perspective, especially for LEOs who are relatively new to working in plain clothes. As a plain clothes investigator, I’m not responding to a critical incident...
I carry the same POW G19 both on duty and off duty. My issued weapon only comes out of the safe for quals.
I know this question wasn't directed at me, but FWIW...my agency issues a gov't weapon. Its up to us if we choose to carry it. If my POW goes down, either as evidence or due to breakage, then I can...
Old PD: West German P226s -> M&P40s -> G17.4 -> G45 (Generous POW policy as well)
Current agency: S&W revolvers -> USGI M1911s with custom chopped slides -> P228s (M11) -> Generous POW policy...
I’ve been exclusively carrying a G19 for the past couple of years. I previously carried smaller guns for comfort and convenience (PPS, G43). But eventually I conceded to the fact that I’ll never be...
Got me...I'll self-identify and admit I own a Q4SF for absolutely no practical reason, but I love it. Almost like those 1911 guys...
Both the military agents and the 1811s can carry P320s (and most other 9mm pistols) as agency-approved POWs. The issued duty gun is still the M11 at the moment. For how much longer? No firm answer,...
I can confirm FLETC still teaches this
I'd be lying if I said I took the time to read the entire article...but assuming standard "stoplight colors" apply to this new woke target, I'm guessing red=bad, yellow=better, and green=best. If...
I was an aircrew member in the USAF before getting out and becoming a cop. "Crew rest" was considered sacred in the flying community and if a guy had something come up that prevented him from getting...
