A little late, but agreed; my first thought was "chasing the hole."

Did the same thing a few weeks ago for some in-service training. Definitely good to maintain familiarity with the kits...even if it is at the expense of a good roast!

I carried a third generation Glock 17 until my agency switched to fourth generation for issue. I found with the third generation guns I used less trigger finger, with only the pad across the trigger...

Great discussion, and you've made some very articulate points, nyeti.

A few years ago I moved from night shift FTO to investigations, but I still do the firearms instructor gig.

Drills from on...

I've unfortunately had my share of tussles with naked folks on drugs: usually PCP but have dealt with it with folks on meth and spice too.

Agreed that the last encounter on the video has a good...

Have you tried putting the medium or large backstrap on it? In my experience, some shooters get surprisingly good results from moving up a little in grip size. The smaller grip can feel better when...

Even an introductory course that properly addresses the fundamentals (like grip) is better than nothing. There's a real risk of developing bad habits on your own that will be harder to unlearn later.

My agency used to issue the USP in 9x19mm back when we were on an HK kick. Well-built guns and reliable with proper maintenance (spring change intervals were an issue administratively, but not...

No argument here! You make some very strong points. Like many here, I'm a firearms instructor for my agency, which means I'm a student first and foremost and consider humility one of my continuous...

Not the most interesting, but at some multi-agency training I saw a couple of cops with FN Five-Seven pistols. I somehow (unfairly?) got the distinct impression they were from some really small...

If it were 15 versus 17, I could see it being a more reasonable dilemma for most shooters. 10 versus 17, in comparable weapons whose overall characteristics are quite similar, seems much more simple...

I generally consider Glock magazines as consumable parts. There are some occasions where I might swap out a spring or follower, but for department guns it's easier to diagnose and issue a whole new...

Excellent point and well said.

In the summertime I'll usually wear khakis and a polo. In cooler weather the polo changes to a button-down (long-sleeve). I only do the suit and tie thing if I have court that day.

What first came to my mind was how we're usually so resistant to change. Why blue for city and tan for county? "That's how we've always done it." :rolleyes:

Good discussion. I'm a little late but I'll chime in. Todd brought up a good point about how eye contact is used, and how it's just as easy to accidentally escalate a situation and force a...

Those photos show a grip very similar to mine. Like others mentioned, I try to get my support hand as reasonably high as I can get it. That's one of the reasons I like the Glock trigger guard; its...

Glock armorer here.
