Practice, practice, practice...How does your firearm discharge climbing out of a helo?
Holster wear or it snagged a belt, loop, buckle, etc., just like with non-badges.How does your firearm discharge climbing out of a helo?
Maybe.Accidental, huh? It's still negligence, whether it's a cop or not.
I agree...it's negligence, no matter who it is.Accidental, huh? It's still negligence, whether it's a cop or not.
I thought ISP was carrying Glock 17's after the Glock 22 .40 S&W debacle from several years ago?Just strange, ISP still has P227s so . . . long first pull, but does not mean anything with his body weight.
My understanding is SIG P227. Just us and CT state po-po.I thought ISP was carrying Glock 17's after the Glock 22 .40 S&W debacle from several years ago?
I would think thats a tough pistol to have with, whats now know as a "Helo Pop"Maybe.
Guns do fire accidently. Hey, have I ever told you guys about the 870 at Shootrite?

Online shows that ISP adopted the SIG _227 in December of 2013.My understanding is SIG P227. Just us and CT state po-po.
Indiana and Pennsylvania use Sig 227’s. Connecticut dropped Sig last year and are a Glock 45 in 9mm shop now!My understanding is SIG P227. Just us and CT state po-po.
Is it really "shooting yourself" when it was the hanging keys from the person sitting next to you that when they stood up, fired the gun? LOLCould be the same deal as the IMPD officer that shot themself at the funeral for a fallen officer some years back.
Safariland light bearing holsters (and others,) have a pretty wide gap around the trigger at the trigger guard. It's the nature of the beast with a lot of modern weapon lights, especially Surefires.
If ancillary (like keys,) finds a way into that wide gap, it can easily lever that trigger to go bang. It's what happened to the IMPD officer, IIRC.
Hard to say whose negligence that is eh?
3-4Meh, we'll get rid of these when they put Robocops in patrol cars. Until then... I see 3-4 of these a week just on my shift alone (non LE). It's very common these days.
