Re: NYPD Changing Trigger from 12 to 5 pounds

They put the 12lb triggers there in the first place to reduce accidental discharges... No word on if they are providing the new recruits better gun handling training to make up for the change.

COL Applegate had some great words to say in his Close-Combat Files book. Essentially the 20% hit rate that NYPD experiences in actual gunfights is a combination of #1 police officers not devoting much time and effort to marksmanship and gun handling and #2 unrealistic training (i.e. front sight focus only).

It's a training issue that NYPD doesn't want to invest the time or resources to fixing.
