It’s been some time since Police Equipment Reviews has done a real in depth police gear review and now is the time to start back doing regular posts! A lot has happened since Police Equipment Reviews has posted on a regular basis. There is a lot of new police equipment out there that a lot of officers have been asking me about. Well, to kind of get back into the groove of things, I’m going to talk about three different types of police guns that there are.
Revolvers- Revolvers are old school. They are country western. But, they are also a great weapon for police officers. As you know a revolver doesn’t have a magazine, instead the bullets are circulated around the gun. There are many types of revolvers out there but some of the best revolvers are made by Smith and Wesson revolvers. Smith and Wesson has a long history in the gun industry so when we say they make some of the best revolvers it shouldn’t come to you as a surprise.
Pistols- Pistols or handguns are the most common type of police gun. There are so many manufacturers of pistols. Some of the best pistols are made by Glock, Ruger, and H&K. Typically a police pistol will be a semi automatic handgun that holds up to 16 rounds. The most common pistol used by police officers is either the Glock 22 or the Sig Sauer P229.
Rifles- Rifles are great. They are very accurate and can knock a person down! Nowadays you are seeing more and more patrol officers carrying rifles and getting away from the shotguns. It is mainly because of the two reasons we listed already. You don’t need to have a sniper rifle to have one of the best rifles on your squad. Ruger rifles are very affordable and get the job done.
As Police Equipment Reviews gets back into the groove we are going to talk about these types of guns more and more. We are going to get very detailed about them so you can make sure you buying the best gun out there. Of course we are still going to do general articles such as one on Stalker radars or Streamlight flashlights, but we want to cover all the topics again!
