Back to the OP, at 25 & 50 yards, absolutely the pistol itself matters, assuming you know how to shoot. No op error.

I would think the Beretta 92F would be very accurate with that 5 inch barrel, and that open action.

Post course involved 2 yards, 15 yards, and 25 yards.

I get the 2 yards, because in the field, we maintain a reactionary gap of 6 feet. No one gets closer than 6 feet.

Now, back in the 1990's, every leo underwent in service sensitivity training, that said certain ethnics gesture differently. Arabs like to get close, etc and we were not to take it as a reactionary gap intrusion.

I don't think so !

But i get it, the closeness of a field interview gone bad.
Sounds like you did get some good training, considering that era. I had not previously realized that Green Jeans cadets went through the P.O.S.T. course.

But I'm not sure that your game warden career really puts you on par with a real LEO, or qualifies you to disparage people like you did in that revolver thread. Those comments about "street tactics," coming from from a former Green Jeans, were a bit overstated.

FWIW the current POST course of fire (as of 2009) is as follows:
6 shots at 2 yards
12 shots at 4 yards
24 shots at 7 yards
6 shots at 15 yards (using barricade)
12 shots at 25 yards (using barricade)

As for practice and accuracy,

If you can't consistently hit an 8x11 sheet of paper at 25yds you need to be practicing more.

The old textbook, " Street Survival- Tactics for Armed Encounters " used illustrations from several real life incidents, including the 1973 Howard Johnson Sniper Incident in Nola.

The April 11, 1986 Miami incident was also a teachable moment.

If your common pistol distances are 25 and 50 yards you are a hell of a lot better shot than 99.9% of people.

I originally read this as .357 mag, to which I would say is the most accurate at distance. But I'm not sure out of these.

And back in the early 1970's, which i believe Magnum Force is based in, that funny stance by Davis WAS the old FBI stance. For that time, Davis was not out of place.
Now walking down town square in the middle of the street, yeah its an entertainment movie, but he did make use of cover and was very good with those Safariland Speedloaders. So, he obviously had movie set coaching.

But on that revolver thread, people who are not qualified to judge police tactics, from that time, were indeed trying to judge.

And i know how civilian competition shooters operate. I see that pulling into chest, pushing away from chest, pivoting like your waist is a tank turret.
Thats fine for civilian competition and i am sure many of them can out shoot regular officers. But it is Not part of leo training.

If you train at 25 and 50 then 5 is much easier.

He is absolutely former GJ (or as my State Trooper buddies call them, "Possum Cops").

Look at his old posts:

Thanks for the update. I was pretty sure the course of fire had changed at least once (maybe more) since 2009, which is why I listed the date.

I don't think it gets changed "super often" because it affects so many agencies.

We called him Tackleberry in college.

I knew Jim's father better than I knew Jim. Both were super-nice people on the (very) few occasions when I interacted with them.

I'm sure you're probably a nice guy as well. And I'm sure you know a fair amount about firearms, hunting and self-defense.

But I don't think taking a P.O.S.T. course 40 years ago, and spending some indeterminant amount of time as a hunter and as a possum cop, entitles you to belittle and/or talk down to members of this forum the way you have for quite a while. It may or may not be your intent, but your posts often come across as supercilious and condescending.

There are a lot of very knowledgeable people on the Outdoor Board. You might be surprised at what you could learn by reading their posts instead criticizing them like some sort of self-anointed expert.

I only respond in defense. Davis demonstrated that he was coached by a set advisor. He demonstrated good use of speedloading, and i know he used Safariland loaders because they are released by push. HKS are released by twist.
Davis demonstrated proper use of cover while speedloading. For the times the stance was popular. The walking down the town square, well, its a movie. You gotta expect some fiction. But then all these people who have never had leo academy training suddenly start commenting negatively because i stated he did some things right. I am not an outboard motor mechanic, and would never question one who is, on how to repair one.

And you are Dead wrong on the level of State training. Wildlife surpasses LSP. This is NOT the poe dunk LSU post school. We set Landmark case law ( State V McHugh). We had Federal commissions. Oh, and your boy J Mikeluik, his brother Donny was star Agent on that case.

So, i am sure you are one of the best in ccw training. I looked at your page. But know your limitations like that outboard mechanic example.

And i am unlike most- i hit back , but am also the best friend & will help alot of folks.

Surviving edged Weapons training showed that. A cadet with a rubber knife closed in on you, as you were expected to drop a mag and reload, to kill him. I beat him, but only by back stepping to buy some time. They can be on you in a second. Boom !


Yeah it’s really shocking how quick a person can pull knife and cover ten feet. It’s something a lot of people don’t understand when criticizing cops.
