TTAG: “NYPD’s Choice of Firearm May Have Contributed to the Terrible Shooting”
All of the wounded innocents in the Empire State Building shooting were injured by cop’s bullets. Why? I didn’t know this. It’s a terrible thing to have done to their police officers. Can you imagine being forced to use a pistol with at least a twelve pound trigger pull? From The Truth About Guns:
One of my friends is a NYPD police officer, and when he comes to shooting competitions he always uses his duty gear. I think that’s fantastic and more police officers should do likewise, but it always puts him at a disadvantage compared to other shooters. And the reason for that is the NYPD’s requirement for a 12 pound trigger pull weight.
NYPD cops are given a choice. They can have a SIG P226, a Glock 19, or a Smith & Wesson wheelgun. But no matter what they choose, the triggers are modified to have a 12 pound pull for every shot fired.
So even with the P226, which was designed to be double action for the first round and single action for every round thereafter, the NYPD requires it to operate in “double action ONLY” mode. Not only that, they raise the trigger pull weight from the designed pull of 10 pounds to 12 pounds. Its the same story for the Glock. What used to be a factory-issue 5.5 pounds of pressure required to trip the trigger becomes a 12 pound monstrosity.”
