Police Appreciation Thread

Fun fact. Do you know the real reason why the 18th Amendment was created in 1920? The lie the government told everyone was that alcohol consumption was causing a huge spike in domestic violence. Wanna know the real reason why prohibition was enacted? Anyone who's drank alcohol enough knows that it suppresses the part of your brain that controls fear. Essentially making you fearless of anything including authorities. Cops back then didn't like the idea of people not being afraid of them anymore and actually fighting them to the death.

Gunsmithing Thompson Center announces the acquisition of Green Mountain Barrels

Wonder if that explains the reason GM has had very few raw barrel blanks available over the last 6-8 months.

One of the things you do when you want to sell the company is reduce inventory and expenses while increasing margins… because that makes your multiples look better for valuation. So could explain blank availability!

That said, I never thought of GMB as a low priced or budget barrel. Maybe their AR barrels. But their muzzleloader barrels are first class!!!

GMB has always been a top tier company as far as I am concerned!

But never used them for high power barrels.

I do have one of their 10-22 bull barrels, though. And it is a shooter!

Sirhr

Siggers. I’m Dead🤣

How so? Glock is Perfection.

There has never been a better pistol design, and there never will be.
500 years from now we will still be “rock out with your Glock out.”

They are on Gen 5. Was the 1, 2, 3, or 4 not perfect enough? 😉

Don't think I'm a hater, I actually own a couple Glocks. I just don't get the reason for falling in love with one.

The issue is that they have been behind forever. The only thing that makes them great is they are simple and popular. At one time they were cheap but that's changed.

Flashlight rail? Gen3, after HK

Front cocking serrations? Gen 5, after almost everyone else had them.

Slide release that sucks? Rack the slide to load the chamber.

Accuracy? Meh. They were "combat accurate" until the Gen 5 came along.

Modularity has become a thing that they will eventually have to catch up on.

Sig was really making strides until they fumbled the ball on this issue.

Trigger options..... bix n andy triggertech diamond or timney hit

Bulletcentral doesn't answer the phones anymore it says send an email so waiting on that. A few post up saying they had to send there trigger in to get set is something idk if they even do anymore.

Is the bix n andy reliable trigger? I've read that there not as tough as the triggertech for matches they fail more but you can read a lot of things
They are! Are they maintained free, not really. They are not a sealed trigger like TT. If you shoot a match in heavy dust pop the side plate off and clean it( experience here do not disassemble it,, things fly). They are very user friendly in that you can adjust almost everything. It is not the same feel as the Diamond. There is that voice that says they are garbage, I stand on the other side. I am currently running 7 of them have not had an issue, planning number 8 right now. If you like the feel of the TT diamond, stay with it.
