BlueSheepdog Podcast Episode 5

Posted by: Richard | Comments (0)

Using your sights in combat is the topic in episode five of the best police podcast: the BlueSheepdog Podcast.  This isn’t a point shooting vs. sighted shooting argument.  Rather this is more about enabling officers to use their sights in combat.  Yes, it can be done, and I discuss how.

I encourage your feedback!  All suggestions, concerns, and criticisms are welcome.  E-mail me: Richard@BlueSheepdog.com .

Today I talk about choosing a back-up gun, where to carry the gun, and take on the biggest argument of all: revolver vs. semi-auto.

.380 Revolver from Taurus

Posted by: Richard | Comments (0)

Taurus announced a .380 ACP revolver that is supposed to be smaller and lighter than the model 85 .38 Special.  Not normally found in a revolver, the new .380 is a five-shot that may make for a very good backup gun.  Modern .380 ammo makes the caliber more reliable than in the past.  Wether carrying this new Taurus .380 revolver on an ankle or in a pocket, a smaller gun with similar stopping power as a .38 will no doubt be appealing.

In a time where budgets are being cut to the bone, many agencies are having problems getting the gear their officers need.  Long guns are a necessary tool, but can be expensive.  If your department needs AR-platform rifles, Defensive Edge Training & Consulting, Inc. may be able to help.

DETC is offering a grant program for law enforcement agencies.  If your department demonstrates need, and is willing to host a training seminar, it may qualify for rifles and training.  Check out the DETC website for details.

Duty Gun Help Needed

Posted by: Richard | Comments (0)

I’m looking for departments/agencies that allow officers to carry personally owned firearms instead of an issued duty pistol.  If you work at such a place, or know agencies that allow this, can you shoot me an e-mail: richard@bluesheepdog.com

Thanks!
