Yeah. Especially if the officer was (and probably still is) in such a confrontation that led to trying to fire while gun was out of battery (contact shot against a belligerent).
Taking a few seconds to think “oh wait, is this one of those situations that we were told not to do this???” and then trying to figure things out from there is clearly unacceptable. Made me shake my head and laugh when we were given that guidance.

There are far better choices than anything FN in the polymer handgun market. Glock, M&P, CZ, SIG, even Beretta.
This is one largest departments in the country. Any non department sanctioned maintenance (outside of field strip and cleaning) or tinkering on the guns is verboten. At any rate, the strikers were all replaced shortly thereafter on FN’s dime.

There are a lot of agencies out there with approximately 2,000 officers. 1k to 2k is a mid sized Dept.The Baltimore County Police Department (BCoPD) is the nation's 18th largest police department. With more than 1,900 sworn officers,
Baltimore county has had A LOT of issues with the FNSL. They should have dumped them a long time ago.
I forwarded the service bulletin to two firearms instructors with whom I worked. I saw them the the FOP holiday party last night and learned that Rockville City will be following in the footsteps of Baltimore County and Arizona DPS by ditching FN for Glock.
Sometimes saying "I told you so" just isn't enough.
