Thread: FBI dropping Gold Dot G2?

  1. #11
    @John Hearne and I attended the FBI Patrol Rifle Instructor school a couple of weeks ago. The FBI guys said that they were about to announce a new 9mm duty round. They did not know what round it would be.
    I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

    Okay. Then now I really wonder what the FBI has found that betters it.

    Wasn't the G2 development by Speer in conjunction with the FBI to meet their needs? Now, after two or so years, they found something "better". Or maybe realized it's not all that and a bag of chips.
    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

    An almost identical round from another manufacturer.

    A Hornady rep I saw this evening had a very large grin on his face when asked about the Bureau and new ammo. I'm guessing it will be 135 Critical Duty +P. Hornady has been converting agencies all over Texas lately and I think they've snagged some Fed contracts besides the FBI.

    It is amazing how the web sniffs out news. It may often be half wrong, but there is often a kernel of truth in there somewhere. Remember the 320.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    I asked one of the FI’s at the local FBI office this afternoon, and was told what others have posted. There will be a change coming soon.

    If it's true, I'm glad the feebs finally saw things my way.

    Sadly, they aren't listening when it comes to shotguns.

    I question whether they could maintain the QC to hold an FBI contract. I know of at least one agency that returned a bunch of their 5.56 that wouldn’t go bang.
