Watch This Story: Gunman kills 1, wounds 9 at Empire State Building

<< < (3/7) > >>

HuskerXDM:
Did you see in the article that one of the injured pedestrians, when asked about getting injured by the police, shrugged it off and basically said "stuff happens"??  If that had been a CCW holder, the interview would have taken place with his lawyer.

sjwsti:
Video of the shooting.

Husker_Fan:
Two officers fired a total of 16 rounds (9 and 7) it appears they may have only hit him 3 times. Normally I wouldn't question tactics like this, but in a crowed area like that, maybe more focus on shot placement than on spray and pray would be in order.

David Hineline:
Have you ever shot a Glock with a New York trigger?

Husker_Fan:
No. But I do shoot revolvers in DA a fair amount. I'm not sure how that would compare.

If an obtrusively heavy pull is hurting accuracy that much, maybe they need to focus on software and trigger discipline rather than the bandaid of a heavy trigger.
