China’s Police Carry Guns Unlike Any Others

[jgressley2003]

I'd say it's appearance is a notch above the Armscor revolver I saw at RK

I couldn't imagine the level of high quality hardware in China for bad dudes to use, $$$ depending. These beat cops don't stand a chance with this thing, except for people without serious threat intent.

More like "...so nobody would want to steal it"

9mm rubber bullets... methinks they're a bit under-loaded and the "regular" rounds (probably flat point FMJ??) are nearly as under-loaded. Both for previously mentioned reasons and so it doesn't kick much more than the rubber ones. Rather doubt it'd pass the FBI standard.

Loaded for the smaller/thinner population....

I think it looks kind of cool.

I guess it does, if you're into the steamy pile effect...

What? What about kung fu?

WhuSa!

Just noticed the manual Safety next to the Hammer. WTH ?!?!?!?!?

It looks like you could sweep it off when cocking the hammer. It probably locks the hammer down when engaged.

Criminals with resources (organized crime, terrorist groups) will continue to smuggle in regular guns and ammo and not mess with it. I doubt street criminals in China will be able to procure much.

In China, they counterfeit EVERYTHING.
Ammunition, built to precise specifications, will be available to whomever wants to purchase it. Possibly even manufactured on the authorized equipment.

I always had to shake my head at the beat cops in Beijing. Usually skinny guys in ill-fitting uniforms, wearing tennis shoes and driving rusted-out VW patrol cars with crazed headlights. Emergency lights almost always on, but no one moves out of the way. Around National Day the real police emerged in SWAT regalia, machine-pistols and APCs. Night and day.

Is this just Shanghai, or nationwide?

 

[walleyepw]

That is different. I don't think that it would be highly desirable for any one to want to obtain that model of revolver.

Looks like a cheap movie prop.

I was going to say it looks cheap, but the description already says Chinese, so.........

Does that mean it will be available at Walmart?

As nasty as those revolvers look, they would not be good enough, to sell at Big Lots. Maybe Don's Guns will get a shipment in?

 

[luger fan]

China did a great job with their AK's and SKS's so it MAY be well made, more so considering it's not the local police. Like most things in China cost isn't a issue with slave labor.

"I don't want to make money folks, I just love to arm criminals!"

 

[Dentoro]

IT does look look well, amateurish. But it is better looking than a Nagant.

 

[indiucky]

Looks like an RG revolver...Not a compliment....

Loaded for the smaller/thinner population....

well, yea there's that. The penetration required to physically stop most Americans is enough to go through 2-3 people over there. I remember visiting SE asia and being head, shoulders, and a fair bit of torso above the crowd (god that was a decade ago, I'm getting old)
