Welcome to TGO!

I love this thread. It deserves the:

What Patrick there said is correct. A 9mm Glock OEM barrel is a no-go in a .40 slide. IF I had to choose a gun with a non-factory barrel for EDC, it'd be a Lone Wolf in a Glock, but I'd still rather avoid it.

I've never bought conversion barrels, but I have bought aftermarket barrels in the same caliber so I can shoot lead. I've been more than pleased with Lone Wolf Distributors barrels.

I, too, an unable to help you. I'm a standard ol' stock kind of guy. Regardless, welcome to the forum from another Jon (Jonathan).

Welcome!

I've stopped in Exxon before in uniform and a squad car and had 'em card me for a can of dip. It's their policy. I ain't gonna get mad at the employees for following their company's rules.

So it was like a 1911? I kid, I kid.

That's pretty neat.

I agree with the others. Go somewhere that you can try a variety of different handguns. If you like and are proficient with your duty gun, start with looking at compact / subcompact models by the same manufacturer of your duty gun. If you're like me and hate your duty gun, your options are limitless.

I'm afraid to ask what Guns & Ammo would charge for a class III transfer when a regular firearm transfer is $100.

This. Every round of ammo I've ever shot had exploding gunpowder in it. Makes for a dirty gun regardless.

I'm happy for you, cowtown. Welcome to the world of crufflers.

Welcome!

Well, of course. Gotta dunk them donuts in something...

Yes you are.

Very nice guns! Welcome to the madhouse, ErikH! I find it kinda funny that both of you are 'Erik' with a 'k' and you misspelled his name.

Samoas! Followed very closely by Do-Si-Dos.

Welcome!

Not in many places. My department has enough cars for every officer and a handful of old spares. No point in returning it when it's not needed. You'd think that doing that would be a waste of money, but it's really not. Shared squad cars average about 80 to 100,000 miles before they're just flat out worn out. The assigned cars will make it to 140 or 150,000 miles easily. People take better care of cars they're assigned to. The few exceptions to the rule are easily identified and those officers will forever get the oldest, crappiest cars to ruin. This! In my department, the officers who live in the city can take their cars home. To take a car home outside of the city limits, you have to be "on-call". I don't live within the city I serve. When I was in patrol, I took my pickup back and forth to work. I'm currently assigned to the traffic division as a crash reconstructionist and "on-call" for critical and fatal accidents. It's nice, but sometimes, when the phone rings at 3am, it makes me wonder if the take-home car is worth it.
