Okay, this has got to be said: What in the world is the FBI doing with our tax dollars?
I mean come on... the agency should just get some Kimbers with a bevelled mag well and use the rest of the money saved to buy each TAC TEAM member a DMPS PANTHER to go with it. Let's be real, they go in with a long gun in hand and the pistol in a holster. Yes I advocate getting the best gun you can afford, but I have always seen Officers choose other guns than the Departments choice. I bet most Officers would rather have a gun stipend to choose there own gun than be given an issued - no matter how good it is. The HK MK23 is a good example. It is a very serious "I kill the Enemy" handgun... but few actual operators use it - going with the pet gun of choice at personal expense rather than use a gun someone else chose for them.
