Its me again guys. We all kinda get prejudiced over what we carry. Any one of us who has been in any type of LEO work for an extended period of time is going to be a little prejudiced over what he carries.,that is something that is very haard to get over. I will have to say that ,Yes ,I am prejudiced toward the Glocks. This is due to all the testing that I have had to do over a lot of years. It also goes with all the area departments also going to Glocks and using my info and the other firearms instructers from my old department to make thier decisions over what to carry. In this area,all local department,except for one do carry Glocks. Mine has fallen over 15 feet to a concret floor,been inna mud,(and clay mud ta boot) and never burped a problem. Mine all have the 5 lb trigger. Now,if ya ask me if thats all I will carry,that answer is ...No. I do carrry a Glock as a primary arm,about 90 percent of the time,and a lot of times closer to 100 percent. After so many years it is an extension of my....Self,and does not need any direct thought processes from me to put it into action,other that putting it into either of my hands. Now,ya might find a 10mm in a shoulder holster sometimes also,that is not a Glock. Its been raced a little bit,and I do trust it,or I would not carry it. Ya might even find a little AMT 9mm sometimes in my pocket. When I was working I always carried that little gun in my left pocket of my duty pants. When talking to someone I would generally be found with one hand in my pocket and my right hand thumb hooked on my duty belt. Hardly an intimidating posture,but.looks can be decieving. I remember when everyone thought that the COLT PYTHON,was the best revolver around bar none. I have shot them,but give me a S & W model 19 any day over that piece of junk. It all depends on what we like or percieve what we maybe should like. Each of us is an individual unto ourselves,with our own opinions,and likes and dislikes. But,they are learned like and dislikes,and not from shooting only a couple hundred rounds of ammo,but from literally thousands of rounds. What it boils down to very simply is if you are asking someone for thier opinion,you want an opinion that is learned,pick the weapon of your choice and look at the pros and cons of that weapon. See if its comfortable,see if ya like the sights without having to go to aftermarkets,check and make sure you can actually hit something with it. When you have done all this,then ask someone that has some knowledge behind them,none of us has a chrystal ball to look into and we do not know how much experiance you havebody size,male or female,experiance shooter or not. Tonight I had a LEO that has been in the business for over 10 years stop at the house for a cup of coffee. It was a two part visit,one to talk cause im now retired from LEO,and the other ...well.....his UNLOCKER (SLIDE STOP) would not operate properly(new follower installed,all fixed). Every week I get asked questions from LEO,what to carry off duty,when the stop at my residence,these are not rookies ,some are,most have been on several years. It all depends on your(thiers) level of experiance. The variables are so many that you are the one that has to break em down. The most important is,is it simple to operate. If i get scared can I handle the caliber,and the most important...Do I as the one who carries this gun..really feel COMFORTABLE WITH IT......stay safe guys and gals...Im getting hungry...King 8) 8)
