I totally agree sir and I have mentioned that I truelly appreciate their advice. Anywho I went to the range yesterday and gained quite abit of competence and proficiency with the Kimber, it shot's like a dream and is a very accurate pistol. I put 120 round's thru it and could place my shot's spot on. I shot at the 15 yard range and not once did I miss the silhouette. I started out shooting for center mass then lower abdomen then throat and then head shot's and needless to say I outscored the 3 other cadets I was shooting with by a huge margin, they were all very impressed with the Kimber and my accuracy.Excaliber wrote:Texasmr2, achieving a high degree of competence and proficiency with law enforcement weapon systems is not "gun porn" - it's a non negotiable requirement for anyone who aspires to serve the public as an LEO. As the former commander of training operations for a 200 officer agency, I can confirm that both CompVest and Keith B. have given you excellent advice that, if heeded, will pay big dividends down the road in the protection of both your life and your career. It's a very small investment for a very big return.
Concerning my novice stance the only reason I asked those question's was due to my lack of experience with that certain pistol, the Kimber. Remember the only stupid question is the one that is NOT asked
. I scored 2nd highest in my CHL class at the range with a GLOCK .40cal and it was the first time I had ever shot a semi-auto and the first time I had shot a pistol, other than my brothers Thompson Contender .270, in 20yr's. Having been raised around firearm's and hunting and getting my first gun at age 7 I'm very comfortable with firearm's in general and become very comfortable and acclimated with them very quickly. In closing I thank and appreciate you all who have helped me with this concern,

. My department of choice is Fort Bend County's sheriff or constables office, I applied with them almost 2yr's ago and was denied employment as a jailor so I decided to get my TCLEOSE certification at UHD and will graduate the first week of May and Fort Bend will be sending out recruiters. I will also have my "OC Pepperspray - Mobile Video - Doppler Radar - Baton and Driving (PIT)" certifications aswell.
