...in the next month or so. Modified, light duty, to be sure. But back to work and Hallelujah!
Our new sheriff allows the carry of the sidearm of choice. Mine? I always thought it would be my 1911. But now I am strongly considering my Model 19. It actually carries easier on my hip that the 1911 does on hip or shoulder holster. I will be desk bound,so hi-cap just isn't a factor as far as I'm concerned...and probably isn't in most instances if they actually taught and required marksmanship in LE circles these days. And I can hit with it. Decades of revolver shooting is apparently still hard wired in this old farts brain.
Every time I've been to a qualification, these youngsters have targets that look like Swiss Cheese, and a majority of them are lucky to score mid-70's. I swear their answer to a shooting problem is to just throw more bullets in the general direction of the target in hopes of hitting something. Maybe if they were limited to a six round cylinder, they would actually look at their front sight and press....
Rant over. Sorry about that...:grumble:
