Lets just hope none of us ever have to pull that trigger, all of us might look at firearms as a hobby or a tool for the job, but i know that none of us want to be involved in a shooting. If you are forced to use deadly force and loose your firearm to an investigation and have to go through all the court b.s., oh well at least you went home that night and not to a pine box.
I look at firearms is a hobby and love to punch holes in paper at the local range. I could care less if I carry a weapon on duty or not, I just feel that if you have to carry make sure it is not a spray, pray, and throw away.
going back to what I asked about what kind of finnish you like on a firearm, I found that the two tone or stainless shows less holster rub over a period of time. on the other hand blued weapons can be re-blued. Oh by the way Bridgegate, I know a couple of guys who were over in Iraq as security contractors and love their OD green Walthers and XD's. they even have duty gear that matches their weapon. HK has tan colored firearms for the guys out there in the sand box as well.
The guys I work with here and including myself have 870's 12ga in the patrol cars (trunk) we all went through a almost pointless 10 hour class to get certified. we do have 00 buck with it but they are loaded with bean bags. the only time one of our boom sticks were ever used is a couple years ago the bean bag was used on a pissed off rot that was running around loose through a apartment complex. the dog was going after residents and the poilce when they showed up. Animal Control did secure the dog after he was stunned with the bean bag. The Police wanted to shoot it.
