    Which powder?

    Ya, I am currently shooting about 6k per year of 9mm and my hope for reloading is to increase that by a good deal... I wanted to start on a single stage until I get the processes down and I would be able to use it for precision rifle later. I sized/deprimed 5k of 9mm brass I had stored over...

    Which powder?

    So I have been slowly acquiring all the equipment I need to start reloading and am finally ready to start. My reason for reloading is to be able to be able to shoot higher volume than what I shoot with loaded ammo. I will not be the guy that obsesses over load development. I will be loading...

    Risk Assessment

    It was a quip from one ghetto cop to another. Don't read more into it than what it was... The point is that I go to several armed home invasions per year and get the details of many more. I am unaware of any in the 10years I have been doing this that were not related to the victim's criminal...

    Risk Assessment

    I generally agree that hood rats don't typically leave their hood. They also typically only mess with each other. I remember one conversation where one cop was asking another if he heard about an armed home invasion that happened the night before. The other cop asked if it was a dope rip and...

    $ 3000.+ Pistols

    I have owned a handful of "mid-grade" 1911s and never understood what the fuss was about and preferred my glocks. Then I got to shoot a Wilson and as I finished the mag I thought, "oooohhhhhhh, this is what they are supposed to be like." I still don't have one but I understand now. As it...

    Risk Assessment

    Carrying more gun in the bad parts of town is a little backwards in my mind. I am less likely to need to shoot anyone in my normal travels. However, if I do have to it is because evil sought that place out either in the form of a mass killer or serious bad guys that are bold enough to leave...

    What WheelGun Would You Carry if You Were Made a Deputy TODAY??

    627 pro for the primary with a 2" round but m10 with bobbed hammer back up with a 642 on the ankle. For uniform. Plain clothes, I would probably drop the 10 and go with like a 3" 686+. As primary. I could do work with this set up but I don't think this comes close to the capability of my...

    Today's Law Enforcement

    I will give you that. The camaraderie has changed. I was raised with about 30 cop "uncles". Our family's did everything together. Now I have coworkers who's wives I have never met... That part has definitely changed.

    Today's Law Enforcement

    ORC, I'm not calling you a dinosaur or anything if the sort. I'm just pointing out that I frequently see the exact things you are talking about being done by cops much younger than me(and I'm 30) to this day. Just today a guy that I was hired with was bitching about a new guy and was...

    Today's Law Enforcement

    And just to clarify, I am not digging on the old guys. They put in a lot of sweat, blood and stress to make the changes I talked about happen. Many did it the "old way" thought there may be a better way and developed a lot of the stuff in talking about.

    Today's Law Enforcement

    What makes you think it is any different now than in your day? In my agency every use of force is thoroughly investigated by a supervisor to determine if it is within policy. Prior to 2003 we were averaging an OIS every 4-5 years for as long as anyone could remember. We have not had one...

    The ultimate Highway Patrolman thread.including N frame ser# ranges

    Ok so the ser# is N1976** Got out and put 70rds through it. Learning the DA pull is going to take some time. For some reason when I mashed the trigger my shots went high right which is the opposite of the low left I would have expect when shooting other guns.... Anyway, here are the first...

    The ultimate Highway Patrolman thread.including N frame ser# ranges

    I am no collector and mainly shoot Glocks and precision rifles. A little while ago I got it in my head that learning to work a DA revolver would improve my pistol shooting with other guns. I did a bunch of research and came to the conclusion that the 28 best intersected my intended use and the...

    Over 42 years of Law Enfoement

    Good for you. Don't stop. I've seen two kinds of retired cops. Those who start a whole new chapter to their life and collect that pension for many years and those who just stop and rust away very quickly.
