NYS Corrections

[Edwardteach72]

Was standing in line to grab a coffee before headheading into work at the Dandy. Well I was standing behind a corrections officer (nice lady she paid for my coffee because she thought she was taking to long and holding me up) well I guess she was doing transport tonight because she was carrying.

So main point is I noticed they are rocking Gen 5 Glocks. And I think to myself man there sure are a bunch of pot holes but glad they are getting these latest and greatest (lol sarcasm I am not a fan of the gen 5) Glocks,

Reminds me of how NYSP wasted all that money adopting the .45gap

 

[Beah]

I see them quite often in and around the hospital I work in, they seem to usually be carrying revolvers if I am not mistaken, I will pay closer attention now and see if they've upgraded around me as well.

Not all DOCCS employees by any means. Our facility's guys got NYPD hand me down 19s.

That's why double looked when I saw first she was carrying, because I usually see them at the Dandy getting stuff before a shift, then saw oh ok she's probably doing a transport, the saw oh she's got a glock oh wait it's a gen 5

What don’t you like about the gen 5s?

 

[Edwardteach72]

What don’t you like about the gen 5s?

Mainly the "magwell" garbage they put on it

 

[Edwardteach72]

Oh and I think they could have made the front slide serrations a little cleaner

The front serrations look pretty clean to me.

So you see my point lol. It's more or less the fact glock doesn't listen to its consumers, and the small bit that they did see people wanting (ie the magwell area) they did in such an ass backwards way it made that area even shittier

 

[Edwardteach72]

And honestly I am a glock fan, but here you have a $450 gun that they now that they are trying to get 550-600 for.

While at the same time S&W finally listens about short comings of the M&P line and throws out the 2.0 at $400-450 and yet comes with better sights (which if the glock was at the same price point would be a bit of a wash because those should be on there to keep the price down so the end user can spend the saved money on the exact sights they want)

Man you are a hater!! They did listen to their customers, they removed the finger groves, improved the trigger and put a bit of a magwell in. The only crapy thing they did is that stupid cutout in the front of the grip, which Pearce has a fix for Pearce Grips

I dont think the S&W has better sights they are a basic 3 dot, some people like the rear u on the Glocks. I dont like either either.

I got to ask what pistols do you approve of?

 

[Depick]

A couple of friends are COs and they were telling me they were getting Trooper hand me downs.

Didn't you get the memo? Only firearms cause pot holes. Or at least that's what CNN says.

The Department recently (within the last few years) switched to 9mm Glock 19s.. I don't know what Gen, might depend on when it was ordered. Before that they used hand-me-down .38 Cal revolvers. They also mostly have Safariland holsters. I don't know for certain but I would guess they're using standard capacity magazines, being a peace officer designation.

Wait dude are you Jeff Quinn of gun blast?

You must have some horrible reading comprehension, In my post i wrote this cryptic message, but translated it says "I am a glock fan".

Other than a CZ I carry a glock 19 and a glock 17

Sorry that you fan girl every little gun ever to come out.

Shit once again the gen 5 glock is going for almost 600 with junk "sights" (which again I stated I prefer those sights if they still did what they we were intended to do and keep price down) again metal sights > plastic sights.

and oh boy I cant hate the shit magwell that flock fif and think its shit because an outside company had to instantly figure out and offer a fix for it because everyone thought it was shit? Yeah ok good logic right there. But hey then again you also dont think women or old people can handle anything other than a giant ass .380 with a grip safety

Are you sure NYPD? The NYPD guns are kept by the officers when they retire even for medical reasons. Some lose their guns when they quit or fired but they others to issue those guns to.

Other departments switch service weapons. They don’t. They have the same one for their entire careers unless the cop switches it himself( at his own expense) . I did read on another forum that they did force revolver guys to switch by the end of this summer.

That's what the COs told me, but they could be mistaken.

No that's glocks failed attempt at a "combat cut"

I hate Glocks.

I was going to say the same thing. I can't think of a scenario where the NYPD would end up with hand me downs to unload. Even the revolver guys who switched over get to keep them.

 

[GOPerfect]

All of my friends that work for the State said they got issued brand new guns. Not hand-me-downs.
