What is your dream gun?
Kimber Ultra carry 1911, with rosewood stocks and a built in laser. I nearly bought one last year, but was afraid of the consequences when the better half discovered the purchase.
Really, though, any custom built small frame 1911 in .45 caliber would work.  And I'd like to have the Judge. and a Colt Commander Officer's model 1911.
Don't get me started on the long gun side.... AR15, a couple of carbines, a Browning Automatic Rifle in .50 cal, an antique drum fed Tommy gun, and the absolutely awesome drum fed automatic shotgun, I believe it's an A11- check Youtube for it.
:stupid: Amen to all of the above! 

Although... while I will not argue about the Kimber 1911 being awesome in general... for $1300, you can get an amazing Sig GSR 1911... that for me was better than the Kimber, and any other affordable 1911 (key word being affordable, say under $1800). Although, I'd love to get that new Long Slide Ambidextrous 1911 that came out, I forget who the Manf. is... lol.  But it was AWESOME!  It may have been Para Ordnance or even Kimber... but it was super-sweet! (Like 5-0 would skip his morning doughnuts if he knew he could shoot it for free!  LOL)

Question for five-oh:  Who or what do you intend to shoot with all those guns?
Cats.  :laughhard:

Sig also has a new 1911 in .22 caliber that I've been trying to find for a few months new..... I'm beginning to like Sig....

What did you do with your wife?  We haven't seen her for quite some time.  Do we need a missing persons investigation?  I know that's not your department, but surely you know which officers handle this.

A Sig in .22 Caliber?  Really? What model is it?  I am looking for a decent .22 - I want to join a shooting league and plan to go Ruger Mark III or newer.

Ballistic vest / Body Armor:  Interior or exterior?  The cops locally have gone to the exterior vests for comfort and ease of Movement. The vests are the same color as their uni shirts.

Which Taser do you prefer? The M18 or The M26?

She's around....she's not as big into computers as I am. She'll wander by and check things out, but it's rare. She will look while I'm online occasionally to see what I'm laughing at...

The SIG .22 cal 1911 style is actually made by a company called German Sport Guns, or GSG. They make the gun and market it under the SIG brand, Colt brand and GSG I believe. At least that's what I'm told. I've saw a Sig branded one and a colt branded one and they look identical to me.. not badly priced, between $300 and $400 I think. :thumbsup2:
When I wear body armour it's always been interior. When I worked the street I wore it religiously. Now- hardly ever.
And Taserwise- I carry whatever they issued me. I haven't a clue. The whole Taser deal, while I can see it's worth, is kinda foreign to me.

I've spent ten years patrolling and policing without one, and never ran into an instance that my baton or gun wasn't the needed answer. I've used pepper spray exactly one time. Amazingly, I've been hit with pepper spray while on the street exactly one time. And yes, it was the same arrest. Crackhead hit my hand when I fired off the pepper spray and directed most of it in MY eyes. Related note- a 6 foot tall 200 lb crackhead can be pulled through a mostly closed door and cuffed by a blinded, seriously p.o.'d 5'7" cop...... We'd better leave the details of the aftermath in history, where they belong.  :laughhard: Suffice it to say I was NOT the  Godly, compassionate person I am today...

So. Since I now know you've seen Courageous...

Do cops really do the "slingshot" maneuver and fling a buddy out the door of a cop car if they're after someone on foot? (Questions I should have asked my uncle years ago, but didn't... *lol*)

Uhhh...no. I've jumped out of a few still moving cars in my younger days, but it was never intentional.  :laughhard: We always rode one to a car- my preferred method of capture was to chase 'em with the car. I've taken an Impala places a Jeep shouldn't go- ditches, clotheslines, fences- no prob.  :laughhard: Scooped one young man right up....but I digress.  That, and I used to have a bad temper and tended to throw things. I've caught a couple after a well aimed flashlight throw.....maybe I oughta be quiet now.. :laughhard:

And if your uncle was a real oldtimer- he probably remembers the "fleeing felon" rule- if you knew they were a felon, or that they had just committed a felony, you were free to shoot them. They were bought and paid for....

He's been in law enforcement of one form or another most of his life. But he... uhh... well, I'll tell you dad's comment about him... "__name__, the only difference between you and the bad guys is that you're the one wearing a badge."

Now I'm really curious! I'd love to hear the story about "scooping someone up". But maybe you can't tell that one. *grin*

It's been said that the best cops are half a step from being a thug themselves. :P You gotta think like them to catch them. I've a friend that did a study for a research paper in college comparing longtime cops to other folks'. He found that most older cops' thought processes and habits were very similar to serial killers. The difference was the motivation and methods, and results. Makes sense to me- most serial killers are, at a basic level, hunters of men. So are cops. I'm just thankful God decided I was a better fisher of men than hunter of men. :laughhard:

And in regards to the scoop-I had a young man decided that he didn't enjoy my company and took off running from me. I chased on foot a very short distance and realized 1) he was considerably taller, younger, and faster than me, 2) he had no donuts or other motivating items on him and 3) this obviously wasn't working like I wanted it to.  :laughhard:

While calling for back-up, I ran back to my car to try to catch up with the fleet footed rascal. One of my officers flushed him and told me the direction he wa moving, so, knowing the area, I cut down an alley at a fairly high clip. I guessed right- he suddenly jumped over a fence and landed within ten feet of my car. I couldn't get completely stopped- my bumper caught him in the back of the knees and he just slid right up on the hood. He wasn't hurt, my car wasn't hurt, and I managed to get him cuffed and in custody. And that, Ms. ruby, is how I scooped one up....just like scooping up trash with a shovel. Only my shovel was an Impala. :laughhard:

Man- your nose must be broken or affected by a cold. A chocolate lover like me appreciates good chocolate......if I've got it, it's probably dark chocolate and the good stuff. :P

I don't guess I have...in all honesty, I've been trying to cut back on chocolate, dr pepper and all that. Kinda like the old country song , "Everything I love is killin' me". :lol:

Haha! Love the scoop story.

And yeah, to put it nicely, my uncle IS a thug. Or was until God started working on him. Now he's.... umm.... maybe a bit nicer thug? :lol: He's not where I'd like to see him. We'll just put it that way. ;) But it's nice to see God doing His thing. :thumbsup2:
