Those would fit our specs but when I asked Chuck about them. He didn't seem to impressed with them.

I carry a 642 Smith on a regular basis as a back up. Like Chuck, I have not seen any round tested in various medias including calibrated gel expand reliably. The only round I've seen expand at all...
Fella's I have a 2.25" Bianchi Duty Belt. I see that HSGI has a pad that would work with the velcro on the inside of my duty belt but it says it works with 1.75"-2" belts. I assume that it would...
I have shot a lot of auto glass in both testing and training. I have found that shooting one shot through glass isn't the best tactic. If you are going to engage, "P stands for plenty" as the guys...
That makes sense.
I don't know if it has any added benefits but I have seen hundreds of people shot and over 70 homicides in my career. Most of this was done with handgun ammo and of that most of it was done with...
Agreed, I had issues with a Glock Gen 3 26 with Ranger 127 +P+ ammo. I couldn't get through a single magazine without having several failure to extracts. I sent it back to Glock and then sold it...
We were seeing some them not expanding and pass throughs. We had several shootings with them since we switched to the 9mm. I don’t have an exact number. We wanted something more consistent.
Here is a course of fire I came up with in honor of one of my beat partners. He complained about having to shoot beyond 7 yards and looks like Mongo from Blazing Saddles. It's a fun course to...
I run Miltech TB25 Grease on the rails and Slip 2000 EWL 30 on the other moving parts that require lube. Seems to work well on my 17 in both the cold Midwest winters and hot humid summers. We don't...
Off topic but kind of lube are you guys running?
Worked for a 25 officer PD and had the same issues. Had to stand over them and make them clean their weapons. Can't do that on this 1800 man PD though.
Got a buddy who says it works well for California agencies and heard it does well in testing. Just hasn't been my experience.
That's a solid load.
The Federal ammo runs but we weren't happy with the terminal performance. If you don't worry about that stuff, I say rock whatever your weapon likes, but....I actually watched a Sig 320 that was dry...
My woes with their ammo started with Bonded 5.56mm Bonded Rangers. The batch I got had about 10% of them without sealant on the primers. What was sealed looked like they gave me 2 year old a paint...
A few years back, I went to a Vista shoot and we were told that Federal redesigned the bullet to make it hold up better on auto glass. During that shoot I watched the 147 HST go through auto glass...
During my career, I have worked three different agencies and been fortunate enough to meet a lot of liked minds locally and coast to coast. One the things I like to study is ballistics. Of the...
Glock says their guns are perfect...Glock Perfection. When I worked elsewhere, they issued Beretta 96G's. They switched to the Glock 23 and 22's right after I was hired in 2005-2006. I was given...
I'm going to have a AR put together by Ray Saltzman soon and I'm looking for good quality parts. I have everything else down but the barrel. I want a light weight barrel and see that Kyle Lamb is...
During my career, I have tried the following: Glock 30, S&W 36, Glock 27, Glock 26, Kel Tec 3AT, Glock 23, S&W 442, and the Kahr CW9. The Glocks were to large for me and the Kel Tec was JUNK. The...
My PD just switched to the 9mm. I was given the say of what load to go with and I chose the 124 grain +P Gold Dot. The issue was, it was on backorder and we needed ammo now. I then chose the 127...
My agency uses this load in Glock 22's and 23's. It does well even with heavy clothing. It is one deep digging round, which I don't think is a bad thing.
