Taurus does not have a great reputation. You can easily do better.

Hey Todd. This is Don. It was good to see you the other day. We no longer have the option of 1911s. That ended a few years ago. It is the Glock 22 across the board. I believe policy still allows us to get a 1911 or other handgun approved for SWAT use but the chain of command will no longer approve it.

The Glock 22 is the only in uniform approved handgun. The 23 and 27 are approved for on-duty use by plain clothes officers. Those are the only approved duty handguns. There is a short list of approved back-up and off-duty handguns.

It was fun. Nothing like shooting in the rain.

I will be there.

Killing and stopping, as in ending the fight, are not always the same. Yes, the .22 will kill and has killed many. That should not be disputed. It's ability to stop a determined aggressor before they do you harm, however, is dismal. That is why it is a poor choice.

Try Dickson or Gallatin Gun Club. Gallatin is having a Glock match next month. IDPA matches start back in April. You do not have to shoot a Glock to participate. Glock matches are simple and straight forward. There is not too much to them. Come out, give it a try, and meet some of the other shooters.

It should be. I know several people that are going.

They are nice rifles. Even more so when you consider the price. You can always to to cz452.com and order a pair of Weaver bases for the rifles 11mm base. This will allow you to use Weaver rings. I am happy with the pair I have.

The 19 is the way to go. As previously stated, if you can conceal the 26 you can just as easily conceal the 19. You are not giving up anything with the 19 and can be just as competitive with it as you would be with a larger pistol. Gallatin Gun Club has the IDPA classifier in Feb. Come out and give your new 19 a try.

With regard to the original question, I have put almost six thousand trouble free rounds through my M&P 9 this year. I have yet to find fault with the gun. The lack of available parts, however, is the only downside to the M&P platform. Like it or not, Glock is the industry standard against which other handguns are judged. Even though many of the parts may not be availbale directly from Glock, they are available. That availability is due to Glock selling them to various venders. Smith has not been as forthcoming. For the casual weekend shooter, parts availability may not be an issue. For a dedicated shooter whe goes through many thousands of rounds a year, the availabilty of parts and the ability to keep your gun up and running should something happen is comforting.

Everyone should have a SKS>

You would never see Serpas send out such a letter.

How much are the Sabre lowers. Thanks

I would not worry about seeing a Kahr with a problem. If you are around enough guns putting rounds down range you will see it with any brand. Even with a Glock. If you see it on multiple guns then I would worry.

For you new guys that make it, don't get caught up in the numbers game when you get on the street. Remember it is more important to back up your fellow officers than to have a few extra traffic stops during a shift.

I figured they would fill up real fast. It is certainly is nice to have the classes available this far east.

Please post a report once your unit gets some and they have put some rounds down range.

Maybe some other time since they are full.

Kahrs are one of the few handguns I recommend. I have an original K9 from when they first came out. Never a problem.

Wise decision on the LMT.

+1 on the Pmags. They are very good mags.

Bring on the zombies.

It looks like fun and they have gotten good reviews.
