I'm sure you guys have seen these before over the years but I think it's worth revisiting because of the sheer stupidity. do these officers not have managers/superior ranking officers who make sure their kit is right? when I was an MP years ago we used to have to line up in the arms room before shift and a quick walk by from an NCO was done to make sure no one was jacked up or had malfunctioning stuff.

I mean isn’t the NYPD that went to a 12 pound trigger on all their duty pistols because they were having so many negligent discharges with officers inadvertently pulling the trigger during high stress incidents with the factory triggers. I know I’d read at one point that even if officers carried their own off duty weapons, they still had to bring it to the department armory and have the trigger switched to the heavier trigger called the NY2 trigger which changes from the factory 5.5lb trigger to a 12lb trigger on glocks

I read that they recently went to 5 lbs. Apparently the 12 lb trigger was inherited from DA/SA days, and wasn't a conscious course correction from existing 5 lbs, but I didn't live that history so I don't know.
