I had a Glock 35 I used for IPSC before production class came out. It was a great gun. I do t own but have shot a friends duty Sig 226 in 40 and those are great too (Sig 226 and 229 40's can be had from CDNN for mid 400 range just ship to your dealer) I have a Sig 229 in 9mm for duty currently...
I really will be surprised if the Army gets away from a general issue handgun with a safety on it, could piggy back off the other contract but we will see. I know when the USAF and ANG started issuing JHP ammo to Security Forces/Security Police troops for their M9's at stateside bases around...
It was. This was back in 2006/07. Out of around 1,200 Glock 22's about over100 were having FTF/FTE issues. they rotated those guns to the firearms instructors and they did the same issues with them so the weak grip/limp wristing theory was quashed. (ISP has a pretty intensive firearms program)...
The 357 SIG is no more expensive than 45 ACP especially when you factor in an agency contract at the price the are usually able to negotiate. As far as the 357 SIG ballisticly it is a great round. The US Secret Service still use it as well as the Federal Air Marshals and several other state...
this is a long shot but are you are a nurse, doctor or clergy? If so you can get a waiver with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and 1 or 2 other agencies. BOP has the same Federal LE 6C pay and retirement plan, LEOSA covered etc as everything in the Department of Justice
Basically you were ion with the Border Patrol when they were not covered by the 6C Federal LE retirement plan but then were added. Gotcha. DOJ has some waivers as well but so far there has only been a couple go through. Most just don't want any part of it by the time they retire from the...
don't know if you mistyped so I'm not arguing just clarifying. You have listed about everything but the age/year you listed is misleading. If you are 6C Federal LE retirement plan you are retirement eligible at age 50 with 20 years or at any age with 25 years of service however at age 57 you are...
However would you be ok if your other half did the stepping out? Also how much does the other person have to loose? While there is temptation everywhere be carful, fire burns long after its out especially if you are in a situation where kids are involved. If your kids are older your one time or...
Dixiejarhead, Is your position under the Federal LE Retirement 6C retirement (GL 3-10 GS for 11 and above) or regular civil service? My reference was for personnel under the federal LE retirement that are not on the LEAP pay schedule!
From someone in the FED's O/T rate is limited to time and a half by Federal law and master agreement. Those in supervisory positions are capped at a lower rate than time and a half!
With your solution, In a perfect world sure. The issue is while the sights are somewhat "on" target the shooter is still moving slightly and the shooter is not all the way settled down combine that with the easy trigger and a dab of adrenaline you have outer hits if not misses. For some reason...
What I mean by out running the sights is that with Glocks, M&P's etc a lot of shooters are able to run the trigger faster than they can get the sights lined up on the target. This is more noticeable when you have multiple targets like on a stress course or any typical IPSC/IDPA match where some...
JNieman, respectfully let me articulate my point. I bought my first 2 M&P's in 2007 then one for my daughter in 2009 and a compact for myself in the fall of 2012 and they all have an excellent trigger. They run just as fast as a Glock, but fast is sometimes too fast. Let me explain, On the job I...
I hear you, I just feel that the so called trigger issues some folks cry about on the M&P are they are either to much OCD or perhaps they got a MASS compliant gun or something. I have owned two other M&P's and all of them were fine (I sold the 45 to get my Daughter the compact M&P 9mm) Then...
