I use the identical ammo that my former agency issues.

It seems to me that this thread is an exposition of nuanced inanity packaged as reasoned logic supported by purported scientific protocol that has yet to be revealed to inquiring minds.

An article...

One more hopefully helpful tip: practice reloading your revolver using dummy rounds in complete darkness. As long as you're sure that you're using dummy rounds, you can practice in your bedroom. It's...

That's one damned excellent revolver. I'm so old school, when I began my career, we were issued the Model 15. Within a few years, we had transitioned to semis. But the Model 15 was an excellent...

Admittedly this is a dated video; however, watch how the cop ducks out of line of sight of a bad guy to reload. At the end, he does it with a speed loader:

My advice is to practice reloading behind a barrier. It's never a good idea to remain a stationary target for a bad guy who wants you reduced to evidence of murder and autopsied the following...

My God. When are whack jobs going to stop targeting cops?

Reading news has become too depressing.

Hi Blues,

I remember those old school days of qualifying with off-duty guns at 25 yards. Qualifying with a 2" Model 60 at 25 yards was not easy. My guess is I did it once on my first try. Usually...

Caleb,

I have never, ever written that J Frames are only good for point shooting. I have no clue where you've come up with that one. I did write that the Chief Special, which evolved into the...

Hi C.W. Clark,

It's a good idea to keep in mind that technology has affected gun fighting and survival. Revolvers are obsolete as on-duty cop weapons. I can't write for sure, but my guess is the...

Caleb,

If you've assessed to .75 accuracy that I'm a troll, and my answer was what you've expected, why the heck did you waste your time bothering me?

There are a lot of chilled posters on this...

caleb,

I hope you enjoy a long and happy life.

Take care.

This sounds like it could be a whole lotta fun, providin', of course, that jokes are a substantial part of curriculum.

What's this shindig's cost of admission?

Will this be held at the Ewing...

Criminals, especially the most evil, psycho SOB's, do train. Some 30 years ago, I watched a training film of surveillance film of San Quentin outlaw biker bangers training to take away guns from...

I'm curious: are you preparing for urban warfare?

There is only one book you'll need if your goal is surviving an encounter with a banger or bangers who want you reduced to evidence of murder...

Good Morning, LJP,

Thanks for the invite.

I know nothing of Dagga Boy's training courses. Does Dagga Boy have a link?


Thanks & stay safe.

We have different exposure to knowledge.

The US military can tell you beforehand with incredible accuracy how many soldiers won't return after certain engagements. If the military did not accept...

Hi Sidheshooter,

At one time, the Model 36 & Model 60 were the quintessential off-duty & back-up handguns. I'd bet that that has changed.

I used to shoot my Model 60 a lot. I had to. I had to...

Tell me why.

Thanks.

I gotta throw in with the Heat posters. I had forgotten about that movie. It was excellent.

Serpico was good, too

If we're considering comedy/parody, this scene has to be one the most hilarious:

New Centurions was a Wambaugh work, was it not?

Hi Gun Mutt,

If your J-Frame is for self-defense, you might want to practice single handed point shooting. By design, the Model 36 & Model 60 are belly guns. They were designed with very low...

Thanks, guys, I appreciate it.

I found 2 Galco J-Frame Speedloader Carriers at www.lapolicegear.com

I would not do well in the current environment in which cops have to practice their profession. Not all that long ago I had a conversation with a working cop of the agency from which I'm retired. He...
