the "feebs" carry Glocks because they were the low bid. a person responds to critical situation the exact way they were taught or practice. It took me years to get away from the triangular stance of facing a target to a modified weaver. if you don't practice, you are not proficient with your firearm. After years of the "double tap", the triple tap was introduced in swat training. How u practice is how you r going to respond. Once u commit to draw and fire, DO IT!!. Just remember to pee your pants to prove u were in fear of your life.

Not true about being low bid, they changed from Sig to Glock since so many of the female agents and inexperienced shooters had difficulties qualifying with the Sig Sauer. Had nothing to do with $$$$$. Secondly, maintainence on a glock is far less and far easier at the user level and the armory level...

G.B., did the GI version sigs have the 1st shot double action/2nd shot single action trigger (that I prefer) , or the totally double action only trigger? the dao's are becoming more prevalent in issue guns due to courtroom reasons IMO. in auto pistols I'd still have to give best trigger feel to the 1911's, but nothing compares to a finely tuned revolver (if done by a competent gunsmith), again just my "so called expert" opinion, and frankly I'm sure there will be opposing views.

First shot Duble action 2nd shot single action... We have had issues with weak shooters qualifying with these guns just like the FBI did... But it beats trying to carry a full size Beretta, and really beats the hell out of the Colt Agent they used to issue us in .38 until around 1997 in some units. I still had a .38 in Korea from Jul 97-Jul 98. The 1911's are just too damm big to conceal, but nice. The real problem with the 1911, other than a safety is a 120 pound female can't conceal one easily...

LOL, I bought a colt agent for my wife and put on pachmyer grips and it's perfect for her, just don't try and use any +p ammo. also a great gun for rat shot, won't even know your carrying it.
