Mea Copa. I saw your handle on the Doubts about 9mm thread which was probably in the last posted column when I looked. Is there a link to the actual study? The SOFREP article only listed...
You're a FAST reader. Ten minutes between my post and yours. I focused on content rather than the source.
I suspect the FBI "had" to change back to maintain their leadership role in the LE...
I hope this FBI study settled your earlier concerns about the 9mm cartridge.
There are very few things that stir a more passionate debate among LEOs than handgun calibers. We often hear FBI...
The FBI decision to move from 40 to 9 was a cost savings decision and that is the reason other LE agencies and departments are doing the same. The real analysis was conducted by bean counters. I...
If I were the OP with OCD playing the "What If?" game with myself, I'd still be wondering after reading this thread. The handgun and caliber of ammo play a minor role to the operator.
I admit that I am a Smith & Wesson brand loyalist who is a big Gen3 fan. I have limited my accumulating to 9mm and .40 S&W with several models in each of the 3900, 4000, 5900, 6900 series. I...
I spent 33 years in a 900 man police department and enjoyed a great career, but I wouldn't do it again. Today, maybe a 911 operator. Maybe a MIKE ROWE apprentice or a security guard at a nuclear...
Episode 3/12 of The Crimson Rivers, a French TV series we watch using closed captioning.

Simply go into your local police station and ask to speak to the department Rangemaster or the person in charge of firearms training for the department so you can find you what the standards are for...
If your wife is looking for a new handgun option and the S&W Shield 9mm slide was too difficult to lock back and the revolver recoil too painful, then take her to your LGS and her try the S&W M&P 380...
I have over a dozen S&W Gen3 TDA (DA/SA) pistols in 9mm and .40 S&W, but it is a rare DAO .40 caliber model 4054 that gives me the "warm-and-fuzzies". It is a safe queen and only gets out to the...
I carry a Walther PPS (Police Pistol Slim), which would meet your needs. I like for all the reasons you've sighted. I carry it in a combo IWB/OWB holster from Craft Holsters that is made by Falco. ...
I have a Fort Knox Maverick 6031. I bought it from a local FK dealer at a great Memorial Day sale price and had them deliver it into my home. It safeguards valuable papers, jewelry, and my firearms...
I've owned a Smith & Wesson 6946 for years and find it to be a pleasure to shoot and carry. At 26.5 oz, the 6946 is hardly a boat anchor, but I do prefer to carry it in an OWB avenger style holster...
I own a Smith & Wesson model 6946 along with a host of other S&W 9mm and .40 caliber Gen3. I carried S&W models 15 and 19 on the job so I'm very comfortable with the double action Smith trigger. ...
