    Nice write up in G & A on AZ 1200 new Colts

    Just landed in my e-mail in-box. The article is nominally about the states new patrol rifles all being equipped with iron sights, but there's a lot of good info here backing up the reality that's taught here on M4C. I thought the group might enjoy a little light reading.

    If only all LE agencies put that kind of fore-thought into equipping their agents/officers.

    I'd gladly shell out some personal $$$ for an optic of my choosing.
    Good judgment comes from experience. And experience… well, that comes from poor judgment.

    The Sheriff's Office is the same way. Of course.. you buy all your guns... including your Duty Pistol.

    I was shocked to find out they allow RDS sights.... Not because they're inherently bad... but It's hard for some guys to grasp the idea of a decent sight in a decent mount.

    To me, it's just easier to say IRONS only. We're not going to waste time figuring out every possible goofed up mount, loose sight, etc.... qual on irons and shut up.

    It is definetely easier, but then you short change agents/officers who actually know their stuff when it comes to operating a carbine with a decent optic. Unfortunately, unions tend to frown on people that want to seperate the "wheat from the chaff".

    Unless you make out a laundry list of approved gear, guys who just want to "pimp their gun" will show up with some chinese RDS in a UTG mount and figure they are good to go.

    I've seen agents try to "upgrade" from KAC handguards on our M4A1s to some drop in, "free float" abomination made from korean pot metal.

    I was kind of hoping that they would have gone with Spike's. They're almost the same.

    Oh dear. It seems the hack who had been conducting DOS attacks on this board has now seized control of Iraqgunz' account.

    I remember when my Dad was with DPS... they tried to go all Colt back then, but Colt was stroking them on the package deal.

    I forget what they ended up doing. I had him buy a Colt on letterhead.... (this was during the Assault Weapons Ban)

    And besides, more people are afraid of spiders than horses.

    That is a pretty sick article though, makes you think that some politicians are doing things right somewhere.
