That's not much of an endorsement in my book. (Not trying to give L13 a hard time about his observation.) Many officers I know don't want to carry anything heavy off duty, don't want to spend any more than they are absolutely forced to, and several don't even carry off duty. I've even been to...

+1 - Oh, and when you walk away...limp just a little bit.

Lol, looks like we're still voting. Congrats on your new purchase. I've made up my mind that any S&W revolver or pistol, in good shape, for $299 or less is a good deal.

The 4006 standard magazine holds 11 rounds. They are available new from S&W. Used police trade in mags are also available from several internet sites, usually in the $15-$20 range. As FirebirdV8 mentions above check CDNN, Midway, Summitt or Buds.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing.

You guys are going to make me rethink my aversion to corrosive ammo. I guess it isn't the pain I thought it would be to clean.

I think the fact that it's all corrosive is enough to make me pass on the caliber.

I am certainly not an EBR expert, I have much to learn. So I'll chime in anyway. I've wanted an M&P15 because I admit to being an S&W collector. I've done alot of internet research , tried to cull the chaff, balance the opinions and decide if an M&P15 is a good choice for me. There are...

I always think about the 1986 FBI Miami shootout with Platt and Matix. Without rehashing the whole incident here, unsecured weapons went flying in the crash as the agents forced the suspects vehicle to stop. Don't forget, a loose weapon can become a projectile and cause injury to you or...

Several options with the Galco Holster at this Link. Both open top and retention strap models available. I heartily recommend the calf strap accessory. Works fine with the 5.11 pants. Comfortable for all day wear and a J-frame is secure.

I'd look at buying one in .357 and .500

That's nice, and if it actually makes it to market for $500, that'll be impressive.

I've gotta admit, I have been curious about that. Thanks for sharing.

JHC, Is that just the upper, or does that include a standard lower with a polymer upper?
