I'm sure cops in those days are a lot like cops in these days.......Many never held or shot a gun until they became cops. We teach them how to clean and disassemble a firearm in a classroom setting where no live rounds are allowed. Consequently, they forget the very important first step when out in the field.

Iâ??m sure that there were many accidental discharges, which resulted in some type of injury that caused this extra expense to be added.

Even today, many Departments are evaluating the S/W to replace the Glock as a service weapon, because the S/W doesnâ??t require one to fire or pull the trigger back in order to disassemble the weapon. If you did the researched I think you will find that accidental discharges on police service weapons has gone up substantially as a direct result of many departments switching to Glocks.

Sorry for the rant

Jim
