Patton

I never got a card with my MP school or my police academy.

I don't wish to carry one but I have wondered. If I'm a POST Certified police officer not employed but I have had the training am I covered? I've had two classes of instruction before. In my opinion you would be a lot better off with a can of OC.

I have a lot of friends that went to the FAM program, and though none of them were there in the introduction of the 357sig round, it is said that the idea was it was a round that meet multiple needs and when put in the hands of a skilled marksman matched there precision skills. Pre 2001 the few Air Marshals mostly had S&W 9mm and even some various revolvers. Mosltly 38spl but a few 357 or 44spl were at one time issued. In 2006/2007 it was requested that a lighter handgun than a 229 be issued and the old saying "Its not the Devil that you know but the Devil you don't know" came about. There request for a small Glock or Sig 239 got them the Sig 250. If you ask a FAM what they think about there 250's they will say the issued firearm is the least of there worrys. If you have ever been a part of a organizition that is ran by a bunch of idiots that have never done the job that there governing you know what I mean.

Ive read over this post and want to start out by saying that I have had at one time a Glock 32, Glock 23, and a Glock 19. I can tell little recoil difference in the three and the backyard penetration test I have done doesn't make me think 357sig is any different than a 9/40/45 If I was in your boat I would have no problem carrying a Glock 32 over the PF-9 when possible. I wouldn't even mess with the 40 barrel because you will have to shoot over a thousand rounds to make the cost offset. A 9mm barrel would pay for itself faster. I have had some specialized training on the 357sig round and I like it for reasons other than its a "fast" or "hot" round. It's a extremely flat shooting, reliable feeding round that is built on a casing that can allow for a projectille that can penetrate light armor or one that can strike with a lot of inertia. I have seen shelves at stores be completely empty of all pistol ammunition except 357sig.

If your military retired military or disabled mil. S&W is giving a $50 rebate on most,of their handguns.

If i were set up to reload 9mm and not 5.56 I would go for the 9mm, especially if the initial purchas price was close to the same.

Optimal 9mm AR barrel length? - M4Carbine.net Forums lighter bullet would need the longer barrel I understand. Ammo manufacturers/size may be different.

Im not so sure that with a 9mm your not getting 95% of max veloicity out of a 4.5-5" barrel. I say that because I believe it has been brought up before.

An old Army buddy of mine was telling me about his and I couldn't quite grasp the concept of why one would want one. I think about the usefullness of one vs a Glock with a 33rd mag. It seems a 5.56 round will slice through a lot more than a 9mm would. I would love for someone to bring up a good reason for it though.

[h=2]Colt ID 38spl GG Grandmothers[/h] Anything other than a Colt? It bears no name just serial numbers. Where there any Colt Knockoffs? I believe it has been refinished. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/q..._/IMAG0182.jpg

If you ever decide to quit messing with it, I would be intrested in it possible to build a shodow box for my Dad as he loves those things.

Davis / Cobra will replace it no questions asked. It doesn't matter if your the 20th owner.

If you want comfort try a OWB holster on the inside of the belt, it pulls it tight and close to the body. I'll get a pic. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq10/seacapt_/IMAG0187.jpg Invalid URL- I have more trouble off this forum than all others put together.

The firing pin is a major weak link. Just shoot it until it's broke and then send it back.

I have researched it a lot and have developed the same opinion.

With a extended High Capacity Clip!

My wife works for Suntrust and they don't have postings and nothing is mentioned in company policy even about employees carrying.

Not bad at all. They were about 65-75% condition of new. probably saw 10yrs of riding around in a patrol car only being taken out a couple of dozen times.

What was the original? I know it wasnt the Supertuck.

I m a keltec fan but they arent as accurate as a glock, xd,etc.. or at least for me. I like the p-11 but its so close to the size of my baby glocks I don't use it. I had a Pf9 and it was ok but the grip is actually to thin to be comfortable.

I have a kholster now and it is every bit as good or better than a supertuck. If I buy another it will be a kingtuck, as I understand it they were the original design.

Qwick Cash Pawn on Rossville Blvd-New OD Green Glock 33- $470ish GT Dist on the GA-TN line has Remington 870 Police Trade ins $179 They also have more used Glocks than I have ever seen them have, many of them Gen-3's $250-$399 Some looked new.

Is that the used Glock 36 they had? I looked at it a couple of months ago but I already had something else in my scope. That is a good shop.

If thats the gun your looking for buy it. Price is right on line. I dought you will save any money by driving all over Tennessee looking for one.
