SW M+P9

JeffK,
Yes, it probably is a financial issue. But the fact remains that the M&P is no more or less dangerous than any other firearm. If the four principles of safe firearms handling are adhered to, then all guns are equally safe.

It just sounds to me like these officers either failed to learn how to properly handle firearms or they were relying on the manual safeties of the Berettas to protect them from their laziness.
 
Maybe it's just me but I do not put my finger on the trigger of any type of firearm until the moment of truth. If I read this right, they rode the trigger of the M9's. I have a fair amount of trigger time with an M9. If you have to ride the trigger in DA mode to qualify, you are not fit to carry one anyway. It is a very easy platform to master. It sounds like some of these people should not carry ANY pistol much less an M9.
 
And another thing: Trigger control should be muscle memory. It should feel awkward to have your finger on the trigger unless you are about to fire. It should feel natural to have that trigger finger extended straight out against the receiver ----- parallel with it.
