It was time for our semi annual quals so I thought I would post the two weapons I used this year (Non uniform, off duty get to carry their own). If you want to carry a revolver you have to shoot one for qualifications, same with semi autos. This year my choice was a Caspian .38 Super Titanium Commander that has been in the building process for about 5 years and is now finished. The 629 three inch is a 629-1 I have had and carried for about the last 15 years normally during cold weather.
The range master wanted to try them both so the target has a few extra holes in it than a normal shoot (only rounds touching the line or out count). Got photos of your off duty carry?

| I understand the not wanting to mess up the weapons but, I would rather take that chance than have weapons I don’t trust to function or have enough accuracy. One of my reoccurring nightmares when I started as a LEO was having to shoot and a firearm that would not fire. This was after I got a new Model 19 mailed to the office and while shooting a week after getting it I fired 6 rounds and it stopped working. You could not open the cylinder, rotate the cylinder or get it to fire the six new rounds in it. |

Quoted:
.38 super is my favorite round period. Real close ballistically to the .357 sig, but MUCH, MUCH more controllable. I wouldn't worry about rain or concrete either, a working guns a working gun. +1 on the super. My dad has a Sig 220 in 38 super that will someday(hopefully a far distant day) be mine. I have a friend with a custom shop smith revolver in 38 super that I have been trying to get off of him for quite some time. |
