Yep, you are right. While regular FBI agents have used the .40 S&W in the past, and have since transitioned to 9mm, all FBI tactical teams carry .45 pistols. I believe it is a mixture of 1911's and Glock 21's.

There were lots of FBI HRT team members at the Malheur Refuge Standoff recently. And they were all armed with .45's and short barrel M4 carbines. Their carbines had expensive EOTECH Holo sights with laser range finders. They cost almost as much as the carbine.

Here are some news photos of HRT members at Malheur, if anyone is interested in seeing how they are equipped for guns:

In point of fact, Dean's Springfield Pro is an exact commercial duplicate of the FBI-contract Springfields, differing mainly in rollmarks.

Coop, I wasn't referring to "in-body" but similar flight-path. And of course we all know "try" is not the same as "do"...

I will agree that Mas is sometimes overconservative, but since he can't tailor his classes to each individual jurisdiction's legal quirks and individual DA he kind of has to start by "assuming the worst"--and there ARE militantly anti-gun cops and prosecutors out there, or even just elected hacks looking for a notch on their belt, that will do anything it takes to get a conviction and to hell with truth or justice. I'd rather bet my life--and let's face it, with defensive advice that's exactly what you're doing--on the counsel of someone who errs on the side of caution and has a long history asa respected instructor and expert-witness.

Two words: "Mike Nifong."

Well, I think that one key thing to avoid doing is carrying a bunch of extra magazines like that unfortunate fellow did at that Portland Black Lives Matter rally. I think that the police and prosecutors may have had a very negative reaction to him having so much ammo on him. One mag in the gun with 5 extras is a bit much.

I recently downsized from eight not including the one up the well (two reloads, two on-body backups, each of those four having its backup in my briefcase) to three (two reloads and one backup period).

Granted, things are a little different when you carry a single-stack 1911 and only have 7-10 rounds per load, but... lol If I thought the threat profile was a Hell's Angels chapter I wouldn't be packing a sidearm and ammo, but its equivalent weight in high explosives with a dead-man fuse. Or at least a twelve-gauge full of buck-n-ball with a couple spare bandoliers...

Oh, I had never seen these photos before either. I've gotten quite good at using GOOGLE over the years. I can find a picture of just about anything. So when any topic comes up in a discussion, I just do my GOOGLE thing, and Voilà, I have a pic of the topic being talked about! How do you think that I found all of those 45 ammo pics that I posted?

In reality, I actually don't know anything. I'm as ignorant as can be. I'm just real good at GOOGLING stuff.

Now everyone knows the secret to my posts. I cheat!

Would you like to see the Sharon Stone bikini photo that she uploaded yesterday to Instagram? She is wearing just a tiny-weenie bikini.

Diamondback · Aug 2, 2016

I'm not sure I wanna even THINK about how Sharon Stone's aged... probably as poorly physically as she has psychologically. lol

No, the amazing thing is that despite the fact that she is now 58, she looks like she has the body of a 30 yr old. It is quite amazing. Her body is still quite thin, tight, and toned.

99% of women her age could not pull off wearing such a tiny string bikini.

She looks WAY WAY better than Madonna does now, despite the fact that she is a few months older than Madonna. And Madonna is still wearing thongs in public showing off her bubblegum, and even wearing see through tops in public. Did you see that gaudy outfit that Madonna wore to the New York Metropolitan Opera's 2016 Opening Night Gala? It was really quite shocking and outrageous.

Just Google Sharon Stone and Instagram, and you can see her bikini pic.

Naw, I'd rather nail Vanna White instead--similar age, has kept up OK, but smarter and classier.

lol

Well, Sharon Stone is quite a liberal. So that would be a turn off. Although I found from my personal experience that more liberal women were often very good in bed. It was difficult for me to not date liberal women, living in Eugene.

However, having a relationship with them can be an absolute nightmare. Having great sex cannot cancel that out.

Thanks for the input guys, got what I needed on the carry ammo. I especially like the inevitable turn towards freaky liberal chicks. If you wanted to up your game on this, pictures would be cool.
