Who thinks policemen should be armed with revolvers?

--- Quote from: cosmokramer ---  These policemen get glocks and other autos that can jam up thus putting the officer in danger.

According to this http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg00-e.htm
automatics are now very reliable.

Some can hold 21 rounds vs the 6 of a revolver: "he with the more bullets wins!"

The Israeli Desert Eagle (the gun Darth Vader played with as a child!)

Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Sigs (which are Swiss-made, so perhaps we should boycott them) are very reliable, especially in 9mm. M16s though, despite being vastly improved from the Vietnam era, are still not in the dependability league of the Kalashnikov.

In any event, this is not relevant. Large numbers of citizens with revolvers will stop bad guys as surely as large numbers of citizens with semi-autos.

cosmokramer:
Yes sigsauer is a good gun. If I carried a gun it would be a either a Sig p226 40 cal or a S&W model 36 J frame.

This is something about which I have mixed views, they need guns to defend themselves from criminals with guns, but if they have guns there's always the chance of criminals taking guns from them, in which case a policeman could be shot that otherwise would not have been shot.

What country is this ftf? The UK?

Yes, I am referring to the UK where police don't have guns.
