Savannah PD looking to make the move to optics mounted pistols

use to be 1 riot 1 Ranger. Not anymore they send SWAT on a domestic now

Actually once we upped our training and equipment for uniform, officers were able to solve problems that would have normally become a callout.

Do you think it is a good idea?

They are carrying more stuff than ever before.

Our range scores have gone up. It’s a good thing when you train them right!

It'll be good on paper to get a hopeless recruit out the door and get more tax dollars off the books so they can beg for more.

if they shot and trained more, I would expect those numbers improve. Optics are a benefit regardless, but if agencies promoted a greater shooting culture, I believe would be the ticket for improvement. I would always have people asking me for input when I was at my last job in LE and when I asked how much dry fire, presentations, and actual trigger time was done it was dang near nil. No matter how awesome the instructors in the training divisions are, if the shooters touch the guns once a year or only right before going to the academy you are asking for issues.

100% they should have more mandatory hands on training and I think the should even do citizen days where we can shoot along side them. Maybe break down the my sidizm

Have the bribes and gratuities already been paid?

I recall a LE study that 90% of "gunfights" followed the 3 to 5 rule, 3 to 5 shots in 3 to 5 seconds at 3 to 5 feet, why do you need optics?

Bullseye Carlos!

I will repeat myself: The answer to this question will be telling.

What happens when they don't follow that formula? What happens when they need to take a shot down a Walmart aisle?

1.) A LOT of agencies run red dots
2.) A red dot will make you a better shooter if you aren't lazy
3.) Tell me you don't know **** about guns without telling me you don't know **** about guns (the article)
4.) Of course they would do a hit piece on Clyde's, that's what happens when a Congressmen owns a gun store

Following this logic, why do you need irons?
