    One of my best friends is a LEO at my local PD. They recently designated a senior officer in a DMR capacity for the dept after a very recent incident in our county. Last week the department bought him a .308 Bushmaster. My buddy (whose patrol rifle is a BCM) and I just cringed.

    Delaware State Police and the city of Cincinnati are now considered "very small departments"? I don't think so, sorry but they are large departments and with that comes bragging rights for firearms companies.
    Stick


    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

The SIG pistol gas block design precludes ever modifying the handguards to a useful length. Not a problem with an 8.5 inch entry gun but a non-starter in this day and age for everything else.
    Interesting. I had no idea......

    Here is one thing I will say. Many look down on these guns as not being proven. Well, perhaps with more PD buying them someday they will be proven, after all, we will never be able to prove anything if we do not give it a chance.

    Realization/Goal for me, average civilian shooter: Spend at least 5 hours dry firing, drills, shooting, getting proper live instruction for every 1 hour spent surfing forums about equipment set up.

    Yup. ADCOR has been playing fast and loose with the press releases for a while.

    Good to know. I saw their press release and a few "quotes" and figured why would they make that up......

    That statement does qualify for an explanation.

    I'm not in a place where I can research it but look for their propaganda regarding the carbine competition.
