You may not notice a weight difference from a fully loaded Glock 27. Youy will find holsters for the Sp101 aren't too awefully common and not all jframe holsters fit. I understand wanting a heavier trigger though.

If you want to practice with your firearm just hold it and make sure your finger is outside of the trigger guard. I guarantee you someone from your class will get caught with that finger in there, don't let it be you. Oh and start running more.

The SIG 220 SAO trigger is nothing like a 1911 if that is what your wondering.

A dog would have found that easier than a cop. When the dog hits there tearing that car apart until they find what the dog hit on.

I've had many weak primer strikes with the 36gr hp Winchester bulk pack with my NAA Mini.

I have mine also so I don't always have to have a badge also. I believe somewhere in HR 218 it also states to have a badge. I think my department would not stand behind me if I used a weapon off duty I wasn't qualified with. Also my DMV had their head up there a** and couldn't figure out what POST means even after faxing my certifcate and calling a lot of people.

The DAK trigger is liveable if you were to pick up a Sig that had one. I would not however purposely go on a hunt for one. I can't compare it to the LEM H&K trigger. Most people feel the same way I do about the DAK.

I have been saying this for years. I have plenty of experience with them both.

Barrel looks too long and the sights arent right to be a 5906.

Hopefully they wont have as much trouble as the 250's either.

There being phased out and actually the H&K LE 40's that were replacing the Berettas are being replaced also. Homeland Securtiy is going to SIG 229R DAK across the board. Air Marshals and Secret Service are the exception.

Do you have the XD45's? Intresting how it seems the 45s are the only ones ever seen been used by Police.It seems like the Glock 22 is by far the most commonly used police pistol in TN. I cant think of a single department using a 40 thats not a Glock in TN.

That is pretty common with those little 380's to have a hard time ejecting a live round. I wouldn't be worried but both of you should put about 100rds each through it for reliability testing.

The Sigma is not a perfect pistol, I know from experience. The P95's are considered by many one of the best pistols for the money. I would not consider the Ruger an easy pistol to conceal.

I have seen a study that wasnt that old and I dont know if it even included Federal agencies but glock had 80ish percent and Sig and S&W were within 1% of one another, I dont remember which was higher. I do remember thinking whoever done the study seamed like a pretty unbiased source.

Theres still some older s&w 4506's and similar carried around here as well. I cant think of any department around Chattanooga that carries M&P's other than Chatt State Campus Police. My department allows whatever and we are about 90% Glock.

In the United States behind GlocK I would say Sig may have the next biggest market followed very closely by S&W and Beretta. Very few XD's, H&K's, and even a agency carrying Walther P99's here.

I have several revolvers that I shoot regularly and I ll tell you they all have failed to fire at least one time. Normally its where I short stroke the trigger.

Also know there were a few differences even in the Gen3's. Sometime in 2002 all Glocks received 3 pin frames, these are slightly more durable. As well as a loaded chamber indicator which is just a little raised area on the extractor. I have Gen 3's and 4's and really have no preference between the two.

Correct, I missed the part about probable cause earlier.

Honestly the arrest to search crap an officer will get by with but I have never been denied a warrant to search a car. I have been denied them to search a house. Judges just expect you to have a lot more privacy in your home than in your vehicle on a state or county road. Warrants for vehicle searches are handed out like candy. I prefer to get a k9 out so Ill know if its even worth searching because most of the cars you want to search are filthy. I dont mind getting dirty if its worth it. Dogs will hit on residue also I leave the occupants in the vehicle so if the dog hits on the car I'm searching everyone one at a time to find that one joint in a pocket or that one hydro that I otherwise would not find. In a consented vehicle search I cant search the occupants other than a terry frisk.

Im less likely to find a joint behind a stereo just by searching than a dog, that will search out and detect something behind a stereo to alert me. You really just have to take case by case.

There's a lot of good information on here but I'll tell you I have asked verbally for consent to search and their verbal response has often decided the outcome of the entire traffic stop. I will not say I have poured out beers or destroyed a joint on the side of the road but it happens everyday. However, I have put people through the system for paraphernalia once the dog hit on the car if they refuse consent. If I get a warrant or a k-9 out there I'm going to make it worth my trouble. A lot of the time I search a car to rule someone out as a suspect. A few nights ago I was told a white sedan was traveling from Walmart at a high rate of speed, the driver was smoking weed and possibly involved in other suspicious activity. I spotted a vehicle matching the description and they were speeding, upon searching the cabin of the vehicle I determined the driver was either being set up or I possibly had picked the wrong vehicle. Consent to search is a lot like consenting to a Field Sobriety Test cooperation can either help or hurt you. A few years ago an hour before the end of my shift I stopped a suspected DUI. I had already called the wife and told her to start fixing breakfast. The driver said he didn't want to take any test. (This is what defense attorneys tell there clients to say to police.) Well guess what, A DUI that refuses all tests are the easiest to process so to jail he goes. He could have been allowed to call a friend after doing the first part of my simple test.

The NAA minis are amazing. I have the 22lr I wish I would have gotten the Mag and the longer barrel.As far as the Bonds Arm Derringers a 357 snubby may be a lighter more concealable option. They are neat though.

I found the ProMag 10rd LCP mags to be reliable. There Like $20 at Academy Sports. Don't waist money on the Laser.
