Just speculation on my part. These two pistols may be possibilities? Sig P220ST - It's all steel construction should prove more durable than the alloy version. Enhanced shootability do to it's increased weight. With the "k" trigger option it provides a consistent lighter trigger pull, while...

I agree with Pat. While it obviously takes more pressure to fire a pistol with a heavier pull, that should not encourage people to engage in unsafe practices such as "staging" or "taking up the slack" of a DA trigger. This could particularly prove to have disaterous consequences if one is...

Yes, Glocks can indeed be "more prone to operator error." ;) FWIW, I do agree with some of your points, particularly regarding the trigger pull and length to discharge, of which, I believe that length of pull is more of an issue, as heavier trigger options exist. However, under stress, I am not...

jc2 - Glocks by design, are indeed less forgiving of human error or unsafe practices, and their MOA begs them to be carried in a certain manner if loaded, ect. However, that in no way makes the design itself inherently dangerous, maybe not for everyone or the remedial enthusiast, but...

We have two instances, one involving an "experienced gun handler", in which both individuals had loaded Glocks "tucked" into their waistbands. This begs the question, were these weapons in a holster, or were they carried mexican-style, which is frowned upon by Glock inc. and any intelligent...

For a department facing media and legal scrutiny, I would suspect that it's ALOT easier to label their equipment as unsafe rather than the offending officer. However, many departments do indeed T&E their pistols prior to making a selection, so why then would they knowingly adopt an "unsafe"...

In .40 S&W, one can select effective bullet weights in 155, 165, and 180gr weights. IMO, this is already an advantage, as variety is a good thing! As far as the 357 Sig "besting" the .40 in terms of hard barrier penetration, here is some data directly from Winchester's 2002 online LE catalog...

I will venture a guess on the 357 Sig's success in LE field use, or atleast part of it. The caliber was introduced in 1996 IIRC, around the time bullet technology really started making strides. Basically, only three loads have been used by those agencies adopting it; Gold Dot, Ranger, and to a...

Out of those listed, I would go with the P239. It will have the same DA/SA action as the revolver, only out of the box, the pull will be smoother and lighter. It's single stack with a thin grip, holds 2-3 more rounds than a revolver at 8+1, it's heavy enough to help dampen recoil yet light...

I would prefer the E1A, which I believe comes with a 92D spring and stock trigger. Even still, I would add LTT's speed bump trigger. The E1A is a Vertec with a decoker only and the brigadier slide. As was previously noted, if the E1A does not come with the 92D spring already in gun, it is an...

Sarge, excellent post! It's refreshing to see sound logic and reason prevail sometimes. Best, jnb01

The Glock 19. Reliable, lightweight, tough finish, can take 15, 17, and 33rd. mags, consistent trigger pull with short reset, parts and accessories available everywhere, easy to conceal, easy to fix myself (don't need a smith), tigger pull variations from 3 to 12-lbs., relatively smooth profile...

I love these stories of cops pulling their service weapon from it's holster, or reholstering it; and somehow, having it just mysteriously go off by itself. These "stories", or more accurately fallacies, always sound like good script's for the X-Files or CSI to me. I would imagine that a great...

Glock's are as safe as those handling them, just like any other firearm. However, the design is less forgiving of a momentary lapse in concentration, or poor handling. If an individual so chooses, they can utilize an 8-lb or 12-lb. trigger, use the safe-T-blok, or have installed the after-market...

I also agree that the .40SW or 357 Sig would not be a good choice for an individual who is at all recoil sensitive. It depends on load used as well as platform. JMO, but the 180gr loads have less recoil (snap) than the hot 155/165gr .40's and the 357 Sig. The recoil of loads like the 180gr...

It seems that LE agencies that are using the 9mm and utilizing the better ammunition available for it like the 124gr+P Gold Dot/124gr Gold Dot, 127gr+P+/147gr Ranger T, 135gr+P/124gr Federal Tactical, ect... are not complaining much about it's effectiveness. All of the service calibers...

From a shootability and performance standpoint I would choose the 180gr loads, followed by the 165gr versions. I find the 180gr weight offers less recoil for me, as they do not seem to generate as hard of a snap as the higher velocity loadings. FWIW, the .40SW was designed around the 180gr...

I like the new look grip as well. As long as it's not too fat (which it doesn't appear to be), and it retains the same/similar angle, I would be happy. About the only complaint I've heard regarding the grips on the M/S series was that they were too slippery, so it would seem that the new...

Hopefully it will be available to the civilian public. I also hope that the company can settle down as the rumors that have surrounded it have greatly affected importation, sales, and support of the M/S series pistols. I very much like the design, and hope that support for it grows! IIRC...

A Sig P229R-DAK.... This is a P229 with an accessory rail and a consistent 6.6-lb. trigger pull, hmmmmm, a Sig w/ some "Glock-like" features! LE is currently said to be eating up early production guns, and no one seems to have an exact date as to when it will be released to the civilian public...
