How to Win a Gun Fight? In the words of Nathan B. Forest, "Be their fustist with the mostist." In other words Be ready!

Don't know the ratio of cops staying alive back in the day with now, but I reckon they held their own.

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!
Yep. I grew up in and before that era. I don't remember many cops being shot in those days. For one thing the bad guys didn't have such an assortment of weapons as now, and law enforcement officers were much more respected than in these days. SAD.
Dunno, Barney & Clyde ? Dillinger, and co of bank robbers, Al Capones men etc... They were before that era and did not respect LE, the list is very long...
I'm speaking of the average citizen of course. Dillinger? My grandparents and parents are buried 50 feet from Melvyn Purvis's grave, along with his son Christy, who I was a friend of in high school. That doesn't matter, but the highlights of various notorious characters does not meld into day to day law enforcement.
They were both from that era.
Have we really ? sometimes I wonder....=
Please do not think Ill of me, but sometimes I really wonder if anything has really changed that much since the introduction of the modern S&W revolver and the 1911 pattern sidearm, and later, the BPH.....
It seemed, to me anyway, no amount of training could have ever prepared me for my first defensive encounter....a baptism by fire as it were.....
Police Brass did in any case.
The 1911 was introduced in my Grandfather's time, yet the S&W M-10 in .38 special and other Revolvers were the only approved sidearm for NYS and NYC Police agencies, , until the great transition to self loading or semiautomatic sidearms, Glock being the primary winner, even though exceptions were made for individual Officers that either were close enough to retirement, or Grandfathered as far as (BETA) model testing during the transition.... Perhaps the best example of LE resistance to change was never more apparent with the introduction of the BHP, a most modern design...
And during the transition, many Police departments would not approve HP ammo, sticking to ball ammo only, until the case was made that HP ammo was less likely to ricochet than ball ammo, truth is, they wanted better ballistics, the ricochet danger merely achieved the desired end result.
This resistance to change came to an end in NYS and NYC Police agencies when the media was able to convince the rank & file LEO that Assault Rifle wielding criminals had LE outgunned, when in reality, this was never the case.
Funny factoid, was that after Glock received the LE contract, the Glock was not allowed to NYC permit holders until somebody let it out that civilian employee Police Commissioner Benjamin Ward had a Glock (19?) on his civilian permit, Dean Spier was instrumental in the rescinding of that "administrative rule".
I helped shoot down the no short barreled handguns on target permits rule..... Lol...
I gave plausible need to have short barreled handguns as necesary practice in addition to the handguns on a restricted carry permit, I successfully had gotten various snubbies approved on a target permit, also pointing out that the Dan Wesson Revolver with its various interchangeable barrel lengths made it all quite moot, that administrative rule was TOAST by then anyway..
It was an uphill battle all the way, however, I never felt outgunned carrying a brace of S&W M-10 Revolvers...
