I remember seeing a picture of Kyle Lamb on his website years ago with a long carbon fiber tube (forget which brand) with the front sight sticking out of a slot cut in the top of it. I had no idea who he was but I thought it "looked cool" so I emailed him to ask about it, and he replied with (IIRC) a pretty in-depth response. I never wound up going that route but it was the first time I had seen someone using a short(er) barrel with a long tube, and I really liked that it kept the front sight instead of going to a gas block.

Yeah, it did look like that. It was back in '95 and I thought it was a pretty good way to set up the rifle. Not long after that Knights come out with a railed forend.
I just checked out the guys website. Although I don't know him, I know some of the guys in the pictures. The rifle I described above belonged to one of the members of his unit. They got all the cool stuff.

As you mentioned it is interesting to see some of the parallels in the, shooting technique, optic and handguard development, with regards to actual military use and IPSC/3 gun shooting.
A lot of current and/or former US Military & LE are also current and/or former competitors.
To name a few: Larry Vickers, Kyle Lamb, Travis Haley, Scott Warren, Ernest Langdon, Phil Strader, and Erik Lund.
The ones who take their jobs seriously seek out shooting and training on their own outside of their own agency to keep up their skill-set.
