Good story.
I know quite a few people who serve as reserve officers including my brother, they do a yeoman's duty and often bring important skills to a department.
I am a big Glock fan, been carrying one for years. Would never carry one without a holster, in fact, I wouldn't carry any gun "just in my belt." But that's just me.
Google is your friend;
The National Rifle Association (NRA) board of directors has 76 members. Seventy-five of them serve three-year terms, and one is a cross-over director.
No one forgot, that just wasn't the question. Colt has been out of the military and law enforcement business for handguns for half a century. Not since Colt was putting revolvers in cop holsters in early 1980's have they even been a contender for a contract.
If true (and I'm not saying it's not) it sounds to me like a 40 year old problem that Glock fixed 40 years ago.
You know, kind of like how Smith & Wesson fixed the drop problem with S&W Victory revolvers when one was dropped on a flight deck and killed a sailor. Once the issue was identified...
S&W and Ruger definitely.
Not so much Colt which hasn't produced any general issue revolver or pistol acceptable for military or LE use in at least 30 years.
Thanks for the tip on the article in August's Guns & Ammo, I just read it and I agree that Keith Wood is spot on that Doug Hamlin is the man to make NRA 2.0 work. With his marine corps experience I think they'll find he is a no nonsense leader.
