I obviously really like the glock pistols,and would not hesitate to bet my life on it's uncanny ability to digest any and all ammo you can fit in the mag! My favorite thing to do with someone who has never shot one, is to load a mag with all different types of ammo(fmj,hollow point,flat nose,wad cutters,round nose)and empty it as fast as my finger will allow. I just love the astonished look on people's faces,especially the 1911 guys!
But I would not use it for uniformed duty for several reasons....1-No Safety(yeah I know all about SAFE-ACTION,but putting your finger on the trigger and pressing it to fire and disengage the safety might cost an officer his life in a struggle.I would perfer those extra few seconds it takes the bad guy to figure out how to work my gun(to fight back or pull a backup. 2-No Decocker. The modern double-actions(SIG SAUR,H&K,etc)are safer to handle and can be fired just as fast from double action in a panic situation. 3- Cocking the hammer.. You might think it sounds funny,but when you have your gun pointed at a suspect it may not be over,he may be assessing your intentions and his options of fight or flight(let's be honest,some people are just not impressed just because you point a gun at them!).But any red-blooded American from the age of 3 or 4 knows from watching all those westerns that when you cock that hammer back,you've given them a powerful "last" warning and they can give up or die.:target: :nod:
