The officer’s duty weapon doubtless had a max capacity and approved magazine stoked with LEO only ammo, if we’re keeping score. Thanks, Gun Bunny.

Home boy can’t drive, can’t shoot, and can’t run. He CAN go to jail tired and WRT. Don’t mess in Texas.
Just ’cause it kinda sorta LOOKS like a 1911, doesn’t mean it IS a 1911. And it IS rather spendy. One can buy a whole bunch of spare mags and .45 ACP for what one of them costs. Jus’ sayin’….
Not sure why a certain ZZ Top Song is running thru my head as I gaze at that Lovely Leggy Lass. That pic alone is proof positive that The Kid Squid (ht2 Ol’ Poe) loves us and wants us to be happy.
Sitting pretty on the tailgate just waiting for something to walk into range.

The only place I can think of that might have “LEO only” ammo would be Jersey. They have that silly no hollow point law but I think it is currently or was just under a court challenge. I saw the headline regarding the challenge but did not read further to see if the law was removed by the court.

Damned if I’d go barefoot out there!
There once was a fishing rod company named Pflueger, wonder if that’s their hometown.
Why do they need a “P” to spell “flooger”? Might as well put one in front of Pbooger Bin Biden’s name, as well.
German spelling of a family name – lot of German settlers in that general area.
Central Texas is not a place where it is wise to go barefoot at any time.
Yes, that makes sense. We have plenty of scorpions down here in Bluntzer, about 25 miles N of Corpus Christi.
Did you know that baby scorpions consume the mother scorpion, like parasites? Not a good thing to find baby scorpions in the house.
Hell, it IS a 1911… in 9mm. I just want to know how it works with its extractor cocked at a 45 degree angle?
