According to some sources, a few officers are literally carrying around rusty guns, because they never remove them from their holsters, even for cleaning.<br /><br />They also carry JHP ammo, but are issued a box of FMJ for practice/qualification (one box of 50 per year). That would imply they ARE shooting fresh ammo for practice/qualification, but carrying old ammo on the beat.<br /><br />Your solution would make more sense: make them shoot their carry ammo during practice/qualification, and then issue fresh new carry ammo. NYPD officers have the choice of a couple different "approved" pistols (approved because they have the same caliber and mag capacity), and all carry the same standard amount of ammo (IIRC, 37 rounds - 3 mags of 12 + one chambered - which makes it easier for the bean counters to assess the number of shots fired under stress). Not budget-breaking to replace annually, even shooting JHPs in practice, especially if they can negotiate a bulk purchase contract for a single round/caliber combination for the whole department.Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378629103793458871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9422233.post-68600317882481384882016-07-09T22:05:37.968-07:002016-07-09T22:05:37.968-07:00Did you ever try to hit a target using a lightweig...Did you ever try to hit a target using a lightweight pistol with a NY-2 trigger?
