I am down to 19 months until retirement with 30 years on. I thought that this would be a good excuse to purchase my "plaque gun" (Wife is still irritated, however). I will be transitioning from my Glock 22, Glock 27 combination to the Shadow Systems DR920P and a new Glock 26 (For some reason, their subcompacts have their own magazine system. They should have a cross-over magazine that uses Glock or comparable magazines (I will be using Magpul)). I originally purchased a Staccato P 2011for the "plaque gun." It was expensive, but they have a fantastic law enforcement discount. However, when I presented it to our rangemaster, he was entirely against it. It comes down to the differences in triggers in that the Staccato is very short, and the Glocks that I have been using for 28 years have, basically, a long two-stage trigger pull (Called taking out the slack). Unless I put 1000 or more rounds out of it, I would be in the field and making the shoot or don't shoot decision, and I would fire the gun before I was ready. Thus, I got to buy two new guns to be my last gun (Again, my wife is not happy).
I have a Holosun HE508T site and a Streamlight TLR-1 for its setup. I will be getting a duty holster from Tier 1, the Centurion. I had a very difficult time finding a duty holster above level 1 (for on-duty, non-concealed patrolmen's carry, general orders demand a level 2 or more holster to be worn). I am already shooting it better than I have been with my Glock 22. I will do a full review of the Shadow and the holster in a later post-need to use them more on duty first.
Have a safe and awesome July 4th. Since time is running short, I am going to be active with the blog again. I know that I have typed that before, but this time I am serious.
