Jiminez, bryco, and Jennings. Ugh. Small time guys I guess. Upstarts maybe
The thugs send juvenile into the local Academy Sports to steal ammo. The ammo is out on the shelves and they just take a few rounds from each box. That’s how some of them get their ammo.Gunny thank you again for another interesting thread. My first thought was most firearms on that list would be the "cheap and stolen" variety. I think some of the choices are due to the cost of ammo though. One box of 9MM/40 split up amongst a few gang members is way cheaper and easier to obtain than a box of say 357 SIG for one pistol that they have. Now I can't wait for the year end total to be announced.

We had a homicide this morning. A guy saw the light come on in his car. He armed himself and went outside and confronted the suspect. The suspect fired several rounds through the car door from inside, killing the owner.
I’ll have the cartridge cases in the morning and will see if I can tell what Gun the suspect used.
The S&W SW and SD series of guns are very popular. They are the most common gun found in police evidence. There are two reasons why. Number one is cost. A new SD9VE can be bought for under $350. And second,it functions like a Glock. Sometimes refereed to as the poor mans Glock.
people forget to mention thousand of guns are imported to the US via illegal channels and this is the firearms black market. they can smuggle almost anything in and sell to anyone and that right there is the problem and more reason to carry,
Which one?BTW....Gunny...... what ever happened to the "sawed off shotgun"???
There are people that turn their nose up when it comes to the S&W SW and SD guns. Now the SW did have a terrible trigger, but the guns worked. The SD was an improvement. They have a nicer trigger, better texture on the grip and a updated profile to the slide. Another thing is the magazines for the SW fit the SD. I have had some pretty rough ones that lived a hard life and still worked.There are some days when you enter a THR thread, and you find someone else living in your head space...
I have a running a database of every gun that has been carried by one of my security officers in the last 17 years. SW & SD series guns have almost the exact same total as all models of Glock.
I'm pretty sure that almost every single one of them was bought from an Academy because it was the cheapest thing in the case that didn't obviously suck at first blush.
The problem with Straw Purchases is that the Fed's don't feel that it is worth there time, unless they have something else to tack on. A Straw Purchase may get a person one year. Now if they can get a store for knowingly allowing Straw Purchases, that's a big chicken dinner.
Most of the shootings in the city I work in are drug related. We had right at 100 homicides last year and even more attempt murders. The average victim in shootings is a black male 16 to 26 years of age and the average shooter is a black male 16 to 26 years of age.
Nice work! I often look at breach marks on heads and try to link to brand. I think I can ID Glock, Sig, and 1911ish (especially with weak pin springs) pistols.I was asked if I knew what type of gun was used. I told them from the breach face markings that it was most likely a CZ75 or a variant.
5.56:
(1) S&W M&P-15 (found property)
Found Property is just that, Found Property. Like when you walk out of your house in the morning and you find a gun in your yard.What does "found property" mean? An item that had been reported lost/stolen?
When you get rifles, how often do you see accessories? Optics, lights, etc.?
Yes, but it's not as fast and easy.Interesting information Gunny.
Based on those photos,and your explanation, I guess the TV cop shows are getting it right when they identify the gun type based on the casings at the scene.
