I was very happy when we finally transitioned to ARs... made my life as an instructor MUCH easier!
Interesting side note... at that time, our policy was pretty open on rifles. We had deputies carrying everything from lever guns to SKSs...  |
You took the words right out of my keyboard as I was about to post the same story about my old department.
Back in the day the minis from our armory probably would only average a 6" group at 50 yards, unsupported. One or two examples could/might do a 3" group.
They were very reliable though, if the magazines were taken care of.
