I have used the 10rd for duty and although they do look off, they function just like their little brothers.....flawlessly.

It's likely a dude.

Yes...because violence against innocent people and police is only restricted to large metro areas. Read above they are used in place of the 100k bearcat as cheap armor. There are 10,000 plus lawful warrants served every year in the country and sadly not all of them can be handled by Sheriff Andy Taylor tactics. Magwa is correct not all of them need a tactical team to serve them, but fewer are candidates that you invite to the courthouse to have coffee and turn themselves in. There are some really bad criminals that don't give a damn about badges or killing as many people as it takes to get away.

5 long years.

I have many of both and they all work fine. I have replaced more springs in my Wilson Combat mags. They both see hard use. Get the ones on sale.

Dang I was hoping it was true... http://www.snopes.com/politics/conspiracy/malaysiapicture.asp Except the part about the phone in the butt trick....I was hoping that was false.

I don't know why Phillip needed to tell us that he was texting on a poop laden phone. Thank goodness he didn't have a tablet. Even an Ipad mini would be a stretch.

It's guys like Swenson who should run for office.

<laughs> I remember renting this on VHS, along with the rented VHS player....

:laughing4:

I just wish they would start selling their premium barrels again. They produce a lot of complete uppers, but rarely do you see the barrels by themselves. :(

I have a feeling that once the editor sees that the article will be closed for comments. That being said, the pic that Trisha is displaying appears to be a trick.

Although I agree with your post in its entirety, the stench of truth coming off this couldn't be ignored.

Adam Smith is really opinionated about Rob's oral fetish. I just saw the backdoor action comment. <laughs> <lmao>

Negative. That was the very special circumstances portion of the comment. I am aware of who most of the Cops and the couple of SOF guys are on this board and knew they would understand what I was saying. But, I stand by my statement. If the situation is where armor, cover, concealment, can be used to their advantage in a high risk situations, any group that enjoys surviving will employ it.

The MRAPs are a substitute for armored vehicles and cashed strapped departments foolishly believe they are a suitable exchange for commercial available tactical armored vehicles. I don't see people in an uproar over a Bearcat or any other commercial available armored vehicle. While it is true that the majority of tactical operations do not need an armor component, the ones that do will accept no substitute. If giving the opportunity to have armor in a high risk situation, I know of no sane or experienced mil/leo that will turn it down barring some very special circumstances.

Excellent post through and through. I will add that under State/Fed LE are not the ones who institute Martial Law or are limiting your rights. It is OUR Elected Officials and their Political Appointees. Furthermore, if people think that under Martial Law the Feds are the only ones that will be trashing our rights, then a little research will go a long way.

It would be cool if that happened. That would be one in the "W" column for the U.S.

Done. :ph34r: Suppressed.

That's not a fair statement. It's not a matter of want to. It makes more sense not to leave cover unless there is a operational/tactical need to do so. Armor has its place in civilian LE outside of just delivering officers. We don't want officers getting shot while in the performance of their duties just as we want to be able evac casualties (civilian, subject, and LEO) safely.

2 to use and 22 to pull parts off to keep the two in service.

These units are taking them because they are dirt cheap and they mistakenly believe these are a one for one alternative to the commercially available armored vehicles. People who have worked and fought around these things will tell you that they are not a jack of all trades armored vehicle. I believe they are a temporary cost saving measure, but the 5 and 10 year operating cost of these things will have these departments regretting this acquisition.

I hope they have a good service unit in their motorpools and plenty of money for soon-to-be obsolete parts. No such thing as a free lunch. In the end, they will cost more in upkeep than a new Rhino or Bear Cat.
