I will admit, it might be easier to train
a new shooter to be safe and competent in gun handling with a revolver, but it is easier
to get them "qualified" with a Glock. And, unfortunately qualifying is the bottom line.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The termn "qualified" is VERY subjective and considering the constant lowering of standards to get there it says something about what is on the street. On a 4,000+ man dept recently the range officer said 50% of the new recruit class FAILED with their Glock 19's to "qualify" AFTER they finished their "training." so you know what they did? Put them on the street and said, "worry about it later."
Putting a cop on the street with such lowered standards is almost a crime and to thank a Glock for making this possible says something. And it ain't good kids.
