Guns and Ammo article on The Roland Special Glock 19

[HCM]

Hat tip to Chuck Haggard for the original link to he article.

Members of one of our elite national assets conceptualized the Roland Special as a concealed carry pistol. While their world might not necessarily be everyone’s world, they are required to make pistol shots in excess of 25 yards, shoot their pistols while using night-vision goggles and make low percentage shots while a threat, a no-shoot and themselves are all in a state of motion, i.e., hostage rescue.

Looks cool

" this Glock 19 equipped with a KKM Precision match barrel, which is capable of 1½-inch groups at 25 yards with full-power duty ammunition found on the commercial market"

1 1/2 inch groups at 25yds?

I've got a KKM on my G34, and I'm a fan. To put in mildly I'm skeptical of the above claim

While a more accurate pistol is always desirable, what is the practical difference between a gun that shoots into 1.5" vs 2.5" when taking "low percentage shots while a threat, a no-shoot and themselves are all in a state of motion"?

No HRED? No APEX extractor?

MO Money!

Having worked on several hundred none needed any APEX Parts. YMMV.

I have a S&W M&P9 that ATEi machined for an RMR, added suppressor sights, and cut front serrations. They did a very nice job. Top-notch work.

I'll just go ahead and remind people that while this is a cool pistol and all, remember if you shoot someone in a completely legit shoot, you probably won't see your pistol back from some time. Locally you will have to get a judge to order the gun be returned to you.

When we first had a thread on this concept the doodie tards had a bunch to say on their site, so I was told since I refuse to visit such a hive of fuckery, about my comment that the guy who came up with this idea was an actual tier 1 faceshooter. Guys thought the idea to be tacticool and dumb. That a guy the stature of say Pat McNamara is the originator of this concept should make people think about what it's for. Context is important, mission drives the gear train.
