[QUOTE="bigbadge, post: 1015315, member: 80"] It is very nice to see the resurgence among the masses. It helps to ensure that there will be a thriving supply for those of us that like them. However, it means more competition (read: higher prices) for them. In an only slightly off topic note, the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) will conduct their 2010 Firearms Instructor class this summer - it will be the FIRST class where instructor candidates will not have ANY revolver criteria to meet. :faint: In years past, the instructor candidate had to shoot a 480 (80%) and a 540 (90%) on the PPC course, as well as attend 40 hours of training with a revolver (called Phases 1 and 2). While many may see this as "reasonable" due to the prevalence of semi-autos, I feel that it will be a great disservice to all of those officers carrying J frames on their ankles, in their pocket or in their car doors. Eventually, the newer officers that carry these guns will have no real training on them. Hopefully, they will never suffer dire consequences during a heated moment due to lack of sufficient training.:police2: Btw, I can readily think of at least 10 officers I know who carry wheelguns as backups (including me). FWIW, Don [/QUOTE]
