Hi guys, a friend of mine (a rookie in our department) is going the the US for two weeks to visit his brother in Detroit. He intends to use the opportunity for some serious shopping because most US brands are considerably more expensive over here. (And yes, he got a looooong shopping list...

Hi folks, I carry a Peli M6 LED as a general-use light on my duty belt. Right now I'm seriously thinking about getting a Surefire for those situations when I really need LOTS of light. I narrowed down my choice to the 6P and the G2 Nitrolon. I noticed that since they are both based on the...

Hi folks, I'm going to order a IWB holster from BladeTech for my issued HK P2000. I carry the 9mm version... are there any differences between the 9mm and the .40 version regarding the size? I recall that the HK USP in 9mm is not the same size as the .40 and .45 versions. The BladeTech...

I went to the range again the other day after not having practiced for about two months. I played with some basic IPSC drills and exercises and eventually got around to shoot the el presidente (or rather the demi-presidente). I was not surprised to find that my times had slowed down...

Hi folks, just found this gem... :D :evil: Trooper

Hi folks, I'm in the market for an kydex IWB holster for my issued HK P 2000. I've heard some good things about both the Comptac C.T.A.C. and Bladetech's IWB models. However, I'm still thinking about which belt attachment I should choose. What is your experience with J-hooks? I have to...

I just noticed that a team from my former agency placed first in this year's World SWAT Challenge in Las Vegas :) The GSG-9 which is the special operations unit of Germany's federal police (formerly known as Bundesgrenzschutz) won every single event and placed first overall. Go niners!! :D...

Hi folks, I just returned from a 4-day force-on-force class held by my department's training division (I'm a patrol officer in a rural Northern German county). I enjoyed some really good training and, as usual, came back with a lot more questions :) Among them is the ever-popular problem...

Hi guys, this question goes to all you fellow LEO's... and all you folks who are interested in police work... and to those of you who can't resist a little tactical "what if" game (uh, I guess that covers pretty much all THR members :)) Over here in Germany virtually all police work in...

Hi guys, I'm currently looking for an IWB for my HK P2000. I want one with belt loops (I just dislike belt clips) and a thumb-break. I don't really have any preferences when it comes to materials... it can be leather, kydex, cordura or whatever as long as it is comfortable, dependable and...

Good thing come to those who wait... and I waited for one year while doing annoying small-time jobs and underpaid freelance work before I FINALLY got back into law enforcement. I was commissioned and sworn in as a police officer last week AND got issued a nice new HK P2000, now ain't that...

Just wanted to congratulate you on having killed the AWB (or not resurrected). Keep up the good work!! Your struggle has not been unnoticed on the other side of the Atlantic... the usual anti comments in the mainstream media, and a sound "Well done" among German gunowners. Even though...

Just wanted to let you guys (or those of you who remember me :)) know that I finally made it. After jumping through numerous idiotic bureaucratic hoops and loops, waiting a looooong time and spending some considerable money on gun club and administrative fees I received my firearms permit...

Hi guys, I finally received my shooting federation's bureaucratic "blessing" (read: letter of confirmation that I have a legitimate need for a gun for sporting purposes) and will put in my application for a firearms permit tomorrow morning. And of course I still haven't been able to decide...

Hi guys, where does the term "high-speed low-drag" actually come from? I mean, I know what it is used for on this board... a role model for a certain furry, black-and-white tactical critter :) I have no clue what it originally meant, though. Please enlighten me... Regards, Trooper
