I too would like to know what agency follows the 'slow draw, fire one, reholster' policy. Perhaps 50 years ago, before the bosses learned about vicarious liability and 'failure to train' lawsuits.
and 9mm, those are semi-auto H&K,s not full auto. I checked when I was over there. Think of them as large, clumsy, very high capacity pistols.

This is why I as a Civilian has taken 5 "Gun Fighting Classes" in the last 2.5 years to learn how to kill the BG when it counts while CCW because I cannot carry a Policeman with me when needed. What I have learned is not taught in their "Qualification Courses". One of the courses included Force on Force using Air Soft with an opponent that shoots back. I consider myself a few steps above most Police Officers on street duty. There are a few S.W.A.T. guys that can school me in some tactics.

I have found that cops have a broad spectrum of shooters in the ranks. Some very good, some not so much.
Without fail however, I have seen cops much better at producing the weapons, clearing failures, and reloads under pressure than your average gun owner. That's not bashing anyone, just my personal experience from 16 years in LE and my time in the military. The vast majority of gun owners I see at my gun club and at public ranges may shoot the center out of the target, but when the gun goes click, they stare at it for the count of 5, then attempt reload. When it fails, they stare at it longer and then attempt to clear it. The cops I know clear the weapon or reload imediately. Just my .02 cents. |

You can't know until you get there. And if your skills at the time aren't up to the task, you'll be very unhappy with how things turn out.
