I haven't had home mail delivery in thirty years.
I started using post office boxes for all delivery, due to rampant mail theft from roadside boxes (mostly prescription narcotics sent through the...
"The hands, rookie. Always watch...the hands."
Yeah, but does the AI know how to write: "Saw drunk, arrested same."?
:rolleyes:
Modern people would have to spend a whole lot less time "signalling virtue" if they actually had virtue.
I'm back with my old agency as a reserve after retiring from decades of full-time police work. Our state mandates only a minimum of 96 hours of duty time per year, plus continuing training...
Political consideration aside, the legal basis of this suit seems very sketchy: The basic Glock mechanism is forty-plus years old, while the common availability of "switches" to convert them to...
The money quote from the article:
"According to Everytown for Gun Safety, Illinois has among the strongest gun safety laws in the US but continues to experience “an unacceptable rate” of gun...
I really wanted to like the G43X, for a lot of reasons. But, it kept doing this to me:
116033
I have friends who swear by the 43X and shoot it very well. They all have smaller hands than I do....
An agency in my area has been re-equipping all their people with this setup. I've seen several in action at a large training facility and it's kind of cool to have RDS-equipped duty guns with a...
No kidding. Anyone citing the VP-70 as a true "first" of any kind has never owned or shot one.
For that matter, the P-9S had a sort-of-polymer-and-steel frame but no one really liked those,...
Maybe I should buy small amounts of stock in publicly-traded corporations that hate freedom, like Meta and Google and start harassing them...:p
Sounds like they should divest themselves of this eeevil investment entirely, if they feel that strongly about it.
I'd wager that more criminal homicides are committed with S&W-brand handguns...
I'm not sad to see the .40 decline in popularity in Glocks.
In an agency setting, the .40-cal. Glocks were 7.5 pounds of crap in a 5-pound bag, in terms of recoil, durability, and shooter...
This seems...ill-advised.
Expect it to be copied in short order by the rulers of other big cities where they are currently in the middle of suffering the consequences of their own policies.

My point was that numerous un-sighted fire techniques were still being advocated in law enforcement training, even into the middle 90's. Point-shoulder with one hand, unsighted with two hands, and...

This stance plus the point shooting gets me every time; we (everyone) have/has come a long way as shooters. Wasn’t it DB who talked about getting scolded at the police academy… for using...
"The only one I've found is this Blauer: https://www.blauer.com/guardian-iii-keeper-belt-b005.html"
The Blauers work as advertised, but they are very light construction and I've just about worn...
Have always had good results from ordering ammo at S and G.
By the time you factor in the included shipping, most of their stuff is a pretty good deal, these days.
Not Wyoming, but our local middle/high school has a trap shooting team, with about 20 members. A lot of great kids on the team and a couple of excellent coaches. The kids are can letter in...
I would say it's accurate reporting. The new standards will prioritize "political reliability" above all else- straight out of the playbook of numerous totalitarian organizations throughout history.
Reminds me of this classic from a few years back:
101791
(Or, anything to do with a place that some of my ancestors abandoned centuries ago.)
Gun: Smith and Wesson M&P-15 AXE Rifle (LE-only SKU).
Setting: Initial function fire and armorer's inspection.
How did it fail: Failures to extract and eject. Chamber had visible...
As an impressionable kid growing up in the 70's and 80's, I was heavily exposed to the writings of Col. Cooper and the rest of the Guns and Ammo masthead of that era, as well as the American...
