Stay safe out there.

The first trigger pull is DA unless you pull back the hammer manually. After the first shot the hammer is cocked back and in SA. Only way to run it DA all the time is to de-cock it after every shot. The trigger pull in SA is short and smooth.1s1k52 wrote:Nightmare69
I use our issue DAK Sig 226. To use anything else you have to buy it. A class mate bought a SA/DA for about 950.00 at discount. To much moving functions for me. I don't want decockers and all that. When we qualify you have to run it at re double action stage etc.
I saw it and yes he did. I messages them and told them id find out out more if I could.nightmare69 wrote:Someone posted this video of a DPD officer being called a racist for arresting a black male. I did not know yall had a segway patrol.
Warning: Language
Kudos to the officer for keeping his composure.

I cannot get a direct link off Facebook for the video.
Thanks. And I'm sure there are others on the job (hopefully) that feel the same way.gemini wrote:Anything that won't just be a minor report we avoid.

It was put down on my review that I did it once before in a positive manner so ???
I was sitting at the station once and a "major disturbance" came out within a block and I was instructed we were staying put.
My first trainer would have said the report can wait let's go. Had I been by myself I would have gone and finished the accident report later.
Look I know I am new to this gig but I have common sense. Laziness is laziness regardless the profession. Just my opinion.
Of course. I have spent half a shift plus OT lol.nightmare69 wrote:Do you have to complete your reports before you go home each night? We do and sometimes I'm in the office half my shift on the computer. Fun fun.
Yes it really is.mojo84 wrote:I had a feeling that's what you meant but wanted to make sure. That's very disappointing.

I'm curious about this statement. Can you elaborate?
The AR guidelines are basically either buy a colt or buy a RRA and leave it alone ha ha.nightmare69 wrote:That is the reason big departments are not my cup of tea. They seem to wanna dictate every aspect of your life both on and off duty.
I have to use whatever I buy and my department supplies the ammo. I like it cause I can buy what I'm most comfortable and effective with. My AR-15 is the coolest in the department.
Haha no they don't I have to carry a Sig of some sort till I "qualify" next year with a Glock. IF I choose another Sig it must be purchased by me, ammo by me, but they do maintainence. I can't buy the gun used because if I do I run the risk of it not meeting DPD standards. For example, a classmate bought a Sig 239 used and they would not approve her carrying it due to the "guts" not being OEM. Sad thing is this was from another officer that was posted on bulletin board.nightmare69 wrote:1s1k52 wrote:Training is going..ok..I guess.

I do traffic stops and 9-10 times I don't write a ticket. Not really why I signed up for this gig. My previous trainer was a lot more proactive thank god.
Wife already hates my current shift (nights) can't blame her. So last night she text me saying she is scared to be home that late by herself all night but doesn't want a gunI told her I'm not going to push it on her. Last thing I want is her with a gun she doesn't know how to use. I even told her about the new Glock 43 but no dice. So then I come home and find all 4 locks unlocked on the back door. Yup 4 of them 2 deadbolts, security latch, and the door knob lock.
On the subject of concealed carry I struggle to conceal this sig 226 appendix. I go back and forth whether I should just carry a glock again so I am at least armed with something more comfortable and concealed. Hope all is well with everyone
Does DPD provide a compact firearm for concealed carry? They cannot expect you to conceal your full size duty gun. I also carry the Sig 226, is yours the double action only or double/single action?

Not until I get on bike patrol lolDocV wrote:I take it this means a Tactical Kilt would be out of the question?1s1k52 wrote:Lol ohhhh so now you tell memojo84 wrote:Yeah, most new employees don't have the luxury of dictating to their boss what they will and won't do.

There goes my holiday gift idea.
