He’s a self-important cop.
Weak.
Your cognition, or your voice?
No, your pathetic attempt at an insult. Maybe you do need that tinfoil. Anything might help.
Tell me about it.
I was one of the first thousand to buy the SIG P229 in 357SIG when the cartridge debuted. I was also one of the first 500 to get a set of RCBS 357SIG reloading dies and begin reloading it in 1994.
Bullet setback was the first (and continuing) problem. Standard 9mm bullets wouldn’t work unless they were truncated. I had two KaBOOMS!!! that blew off the grips and extractor but I kept on going until 2009.
Speer finally came out with some decent .355 hollow points around 1998, but bullet setback was still an issue. Not to mention the stress on the cases got much worth with even the third reload. The shoulders began to completely collapse and the necks were incapable of holding a case solidly.
It was a fun, punchy round however and would ring a steel plate like nobody’s business, but never fire one without hearing protection.
That never dawned on me considering his incomplete understanding of the nomenclature and cluelessness about the number of rounds in private hands.
I forgive you for failing to remember. You're retarded.
Soooo, is it okay if the average citizen wants to stock up too?
You sound like a combination of Richard Nixon and George Stepinawfulstuff.
Did you lose your organ in the war?
Over time, this ammo will be consolidated into FBI and DHS magazines. Count on it.
Now the numbers don't look so small now do they?
The .357 Sig 125 grain is a round made for semi-automatic pistols.
I’m sure the actual number of agents is higher than most of us could imagine... But accounting for 90% of all DHS employees would be staggering.
“It somewhat ironic that most FReepers would buy 1,000 rounds of ammunition in a heartbeat. And probably brag about it.”
But why would any.one need even hundreds of rounds of ammunition? Isn’t that a scary huge ‘arsenal’? /sarc
I think this info is actually useful in educating against the ammo and magazine limits with some of the reasonable but merely unaware people who think a hundred rounds is a lot.
DHS does not (yet) control or manage all of the armed agents.
The overall percentage of armed agents runs from 5% to 45% of total staff for those Agencies that are authorized to have them.
Note also, that DHS and other Agencies employee a significant number of private contractors as "Armed Civilian Contractors". Look for this number to increase.
Contracts with armed private security firms are invariably redacted and obscured with every bureaucratic process available, but it is clear that there are more of them every year, and the dollar volumes appear to be increasing.
