I too share your thoughts in my 38 year career I buried ten very good men who were very well trained and still came up on the wrong side of the incident. This does not count the numerous funerals I attended for LEO’s I did not know. The hard reality of this job is that even if you do everything...
You are so right the various manufacturers are really putting out good stuff I really don’t think you can go wrong especially if you shoot well with the firearm
HK makes good stuff my wife still carries her VP9 in retirement. I’m not currently carrying the P30L like HayesGreener I went back to the 1911 old habits are hard to break and I deployed with it for many years so the confidence level is super high.
HayesGreener ,I also like the 1911 and carried it for many years I too carry it for EDC having just recently purchased a Springfield Ronin in 45 very nice gun. I also have the guns you described in your post. To me the 1911 is still a very viable option although most people prefer various...
Basscliff, reading about your range day makes me recall the time I used going to the range to help heel a rough situation. My kids who were in their early teens lost their mom to cancer, she was only 50 years old. I had to provide some way to help take all our minds off of the loss. Range days...

RickAnderson, I see what your are saying I don’t know if you read my post in the 10mm vs 40 about my experience with 45ACP and 9MM during my career it was very positive. However, I now carry the 10mm with some real good loads. A buddy introduced me to it and I was hooked. To me it’s a really fun...
I too would welcome honest input I have the Sig P320 X10 and have no complaints but I considered the Springfield 10mm many of you report positive reviews. I may buy another 10mm but I want to make a good decision and not have to have any issues. Thank you for the input
Bassbob, I would agree with you about 45’s and 9MM doing the job. In my agency we enjoyed very good success with the Federal HST 230 grain + P and the Federal HST 147 grain. In one year things went crazy in my jurisdiction. We had 66 Officer involved shootings. The majority of Officers at that...
