In the county I live, they make the local cops carry a .45 caliber Glock with the 9# New York trigger as oposed to the stock Glock trigger of 5.5#s or the option of the 3.5#.
I know a few officers and 1 does not care (but knows near nothing about guns that the acadamy did not teach him), 2 hate it and feel they are being treated like a child and are being giving a handicap (This is how I would feel) and a female officer hates it because it's really effects her shooting on the range.
She hopes to God she never has to use it. Not just because she has a big heart and does not want to kill anyone but also because she fears she wont shoot well in combat and has no faith in the rare but potential situation where a scumbag has a gun or knife to someone's throat and she has to put on in the head.
Some departments make their officers carry Double Action Only semi automatics as oppssed to DA/SA.
A friend who is a Fed likes DAO because he feels you should have only one trigger pull. I dont, I was traind that I can pull the hammer back if need be for the first shot (I like options) or I use a push method for a snap shot and it takes out the pressure.
My problem with hard trigger or long trigger pulls is they negate one of the best advantages of a semi auto over a DA revolver, the abilty to shoot accurate and fast double taps.
So I'd like to hear from the LEO's here.
Thank you.
