Dee, what were you shooting before you retired from duty. If I remember correctly, it was the 357. What type of ammo were you using in your duty firearm? Make ,weight and such., and did you folks change ammo in the winter when people were wearing heavier clothing?
Just curious.
Started out with a 4" Colt Diamondback with 125 grain SJHPs.Then a couple of Model 19 Smiths, tried a couple of Colt Pythons. Same loads for all. Used a Smith 357 in a disagreement in early 77 with good results.
Then later in 77 I kept a Commander I'd built in 45acp stoked with hot 200 grain JHPs. But on June 19 1978 I got into a disagreement with a couple a Dallas outlaws over a stolen 78 Buick. When the investigation was done, I sold the 45 and went back to a magnum with the same old load. Never carried another 45acp on duty.
In the late 80s tried a couple of 659 Smiths, but bought the first 686 Smith to hit Amarillo. Then when the Glock 40 showed up, carried a 23 until retirement.
Then back to the 686 same ole load.
I built a bunch of custom Colts, and a couple of Kimbers, but stayed with the magnums, and occasional Glock 23s.
Sig I bought shoots better for me than most anything at my age, but I went back to the double tap shooting cause it's a 9mm.
