A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

Officers in the North Carolina Highway Patrol are talking about getting rid of some of their duty handguns, specifically their Smith & Wesson M&P pistols in .357 SIG.

Smith M&P's according to the video in the link.
Our local city PD evaluated the M&P's in 40 and 9mm a couple of years ago. Had similar issues and ended up replacing their ancient 5906's with G-17's. A lot of officers wanted 40's to replace the 9's they have been carrying. A friend on the evaluation team told me the decision to stay with 9mm was primarily because "we had a buttload of 9mm ammo in stock".
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Just get Glocks & keep the booger hook off of the bang switch until they're ready to fire. Simpler is betterer, especially under duress.

The possum cops here in Kentucky switched from the M&P to the Glocks in .40 a couple of years ago. I overheard a couple of them talking at a shooting range one day, and they were fussing about the M&Ps breakage problems.
They never said WHAT parts were breaking, but that it was a problem they had from the git-go.

The Glocks aren't any better in .357 Sig. The New Mexico State Police traded in their G31's because the frames were cracking at the trigger block pin.

I guess I'll just stick with my 229. Boring reliability.....

Saw a county mounty today that appeared to be carrying an older Wilson CQB, standing next to his partner with a Glock. Was weird, didn't know our local allowed the 1911.

How are the SIGs holding up? I can't advise Dave. I have very little experience with the .357 Sig in a Sig Pistol.

How are the SIGs holding up? No bad feedback from those that have them around here. I have several pards working at the Sig Academy that wouldnt pull punches where reliability is concerned. George

I know of one NC Sheriff's Department that went to the 1911 .45 because of reliability issues with the M&P
