Perps would be very afraid of getting shot by.44 magnumOne shot would be enough to incapacitate anyone, police wouldn't need to empty the mag like they do now.Fat/obese/weak police officer would have to be dismissed because they can't safely fire a .44 magnum.Looks cool when paired with the police officer wearing a rayban aviator.Very reliable and almost impossible to malfunction.
Any basic IIIA / HG2 panel is rated to stop six .44 magnum with safe backface deformation. Gangbangers will just start wearing vests as a style statement and then win through glock volume of fire.
>>65443586It would be better if law enforcement were properly trained instead of only needing to qualify at an elementary level once a year. Also no more women cops.
>>65443586>Fat/obese/weak police officer would have to be dismissed because they can't safely fire a .44 magnum>no more female copsBased
>>65443586>Perps would be very afraid of getting shot by.44 magnumYou haven't been watching body cam footage. There are zero people in the world who would happily charge at you holding a glock but then see your cowboy cosplay and somehow give you all sort of respect
>>65443601You just know that if this was an actual issue the police would start buying incredibly underpowered .44 ammo that a child could handle instead of firing cops for being shit at their job.
>>65443586so the majority of officers can handle 10mm hey lets give them 44 mag instead.Dirty Harry could not handle the 44 magnum he even says he uses a specil 'light load' (44 special) because of the recoil
>>65443586Over penetration is a serious issue for LEAs who may have to use their weapons in public places against suspects. Look back at the Miami-Dade FBI shooting in 1986 for reference. After years of going back and forth on this subject, from the 10mm to the .40 S&W and then back to the 9mm, the conclusion was that having a velocity based fragmenting round was preferable. Less recoil, less chance of collateral damage to bystanders, less stress on the weapons. It's cost effective and easier to implement across entire departments. These LEAs are for the most part reactive in nature, so until another event happens that makes them question the effectiveness of 9mm hollow points then that'll be the standard.
>>65443586just way more than they need. i know, the police are all for overwhelming force and firepower, but not if it hurts theirs wrists
>>65443586Shit would look tight! 8 inch 44 mag num + defense light alloy bullets I wonder what a 44 magnum liberty defense round would be like in fps
>>65443586>big bullet GOOD>small bullet BAD/k/ knowing nothing about shooting as usual
>>65443594Yeah, good thing 9mm blows thoes vest to smithereens
>>6544393950gr liberty will, most of the time
>>65443586It would put a stop to "we fired 5 shots!" and forensics showing they fired 49. Also kek at people who think police are "shit at their job" for not being able to handle recoil as opposed to all the other non-gun shit their job description says they're to do (like, y'know, policing).
>>65443789Big bullet is indeed better than small bullet. Get over it.
Fuck it, I'll take it.>>65443586>Perps would be very afraid of getting shot by.44 magnumThey are very afraid of getting shot with .22s>One shot would be enough to incapacitate anyone, police wouldn't need to empty the mag like they do now.They would anyway.>Fat/obese/weak police officer would have to be dismissed because they can't safely fire a .44 magnum.Have you ever even seen someone shoot a .44 Magnum revolver? Especially a large one like an 8" Colt Anaconda? The recoil is brisk for sure, but it's not like a .500 S&W Magnum or anything, where the recoil is genuinely fucking dangerous if you don't acclimate yourself to it.>>65443597>>65443601Getting rid of female officers would be good, but there's so many more problems than them.>>65443626That line was an error, he was supposed to say a light Magnum, not a light Special.Hypothetically, it could be the same typical .44 Magnum powder load, but with a lighter 180gr projectile, or perhaps even lighter, but probably the forcing cone would start to suffer at that point.
>>65444032tripfags wrong as always. Gotta hit your target first fatboy
>>65443628>Miami Dade 2 happens>eleventy agents get mogged by a coked up Navy Seal with a PTR91 because they only brought pistols again and can't reach him>FBI concludes they have to carry FK Brno 7.5mm now
>>65444032Then why is 5.56x45mm better than 7.62x39mm?
>>65444054>Miami Dade 3 happens>95 agents get shot in the face by a coked up Delta operator with a 6mm ARC with a thermal because they only brought FK Brno 7.5mm and he's able to nail em from 600 yards.>FBI concludes they have to carry longslide desert eagles, with tungsten SLAP, with rail mounted Infitac thermals.
>>65444060A flux desert eagle chassis would actually make a pretty fucking based service weapon.
>>65444069robocop type shit fr fr
>>65444032This is like saying that a +3db signal is louder than a signal 10 times louder than unity.
>>65443586More bullets > Higher firepower
>>65444053.44 Magnum = Better than 9mm. That's just the truth.>>65444056>Then why is 5.56x45mm better than 7.62x39mm?They have their trade offs. 7.62 is slower while 5.56 is faster, but 7.62 has more stopping power than 5.56. 5.56 and 7.62 aren't really "better" than the other the same way that .45 ACP and 9mm aren't exactly "better" than the other.
>>65444087>.44 Magnum = Better than 9mmThat's why people who carry handguns for a living use .44 Magnum exclusively. >MUH STOPPAN POWERoh lawdy lawdy
>>65443586>>65443597>>65444012/k/ is the only true anti cop board because 1000% of cops support and enforce gun laws.
>>65444097>MUH STOPPAN POWERYeah. Also fix that spacing or go back to Rddit.
>>65444104oh he madKystripfaggot
t. cop>Wouldn't be better if law enforcement were issued .44 magnum revolvers?Revolvers just don't hold enough rounds, and Desert Eagles are among very few semi-auto magnum pistols. Every drunk-driving YN has an AR pistol with a 30 round magazine for officers to contend with.>Perps would be very afraid of getting shot by.44 magnum>One shot would be enough to incapacitate anyone, police wouldn't need to empty the mag like they do now.See above>Fat/obese/weak police officer would have to be dismissed because they can't safely fire a .44 magnum.In many cases, the weak and tiny officers are secretly preferable because their threshold for "I feared for my life" is so much lower, which means they're more likely to have a justifiable shoot, which means the perp can't sue anybody. It is paradoxical when you remember what I said above. I'm not saying it makes sense, but that's just how it is. Our job has become very, very silly. Fats are gonna be allowed in no matter what until staffing becomes less of an issue>Looks cool when paired with the police officer wearing a rayban aviatorUndeniably true. A good mustache is also a must.>Very reliable and almost impossible to malfunctionOnly qualm is that they are harder to reload, and many naughty boys today have high magazine capacities. >>65444099Maybe it's just me, but I've only ever arrested people for shooting too close to houses. It's usually the feds that give a shit about gun stuff.
>>65444056The latter is a hog-harvesting cartridge, the former is not. Go figure.
>>65444054I still want a PSD.I'll probably never be able to get it, sadly.
>>65443586>Wouldn't it be better if law enforcement were issued .44 magnum revolvers?I can't comment on better or worse, but it would definitely be cooler.>>65444012In all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself.
>>65444142>I've only ever arrestedEat shit redcoat. You protect the criminals, not the people. You stop one so the 99 are free to terrorize us.If you were gone the problems with this country would be stacked like cordwood in the center of every town within ten days.
>>65444087>more stopping power7.62×39 FMJ is a dead fish terminally compared to 5.56 and 5.45.
>>65443586Emptying the mag is not a failure of the caliber, that's just how you make sure to neutralize a threat
>>65444599>5.56 is just as deadly if you hit your target from 3 yards!!ok boomer
>>65444599>FmjWho cares, compare soft points or hollow points with both calibers and 7.62x39 clearly beats 5.56.
>>65443789But…. Big bullet is good…..Personal bias aside I only know of a handful of people who shoot big bore stuff enough to actually think about treating it as more than a novelty….
Police in Asian countries should carry single action revolvers.
no. most police shootings happening spontaneously with little time to act. a revolver is going to be slower to draw and the trigger will be slower to pull. fire rate is slower due to trigger pull length and the recoil of revolvers will always be more stout. most revolvers don't have red dot mounts and usually the dot is awkwardly high.automatics will always make more sense for police, the only time a revolver shines is when a cop is bowled over by a suspect who pulls a gun while sitting in their car and they have to draw and shoot as their back hits the ground.
>>65444040>That line was an errorThe whole point of the movie was dirty callahan was to use the full power 44 mag, obvious plot error he claimed he used a light version. Typical noguns screen writers or screen writer/director mistake. Just funny is all.
>>65443586>Very reliable and almost impossible to malfunctionThe last time I fired my Model 29-10, the front sight flew off.
>>65443586I think they used to, they certainly had 357 magnums. I think the issue is overpenetration
>>654440875.56mm cavitates like a monster, which M43 doesn't really do. Combined with lighter ammo, recoil, and a flat trajectory, and the Eastern Bloc countries which had a choice jumped on the 5.45mm train to get the same advantages.>>65444292>329These ACTUALLY have harsh and unpleasant recoil, you really fucking feel it in your palm with every shot.
Just go 45acp
>>65445915.44 Magnum was never widespread in law enforcement. It's existed, Dirty Harry is merely an embellishment of real life, but the go-to Magnum for police has always been .357 Magnum, because that's a potent cartridge which is pretty easy to shoot, and isn't really bigger than a .38 Special police revolver on average.>>65446097It'll work. .44 Magnum isn't particularly practical, but if you want something punchier than .38 Special or 9mm Luger for a service handgun, then .45 Auto, 10mm Auto, and .357 Magnum, are all the best for that.
>>6544395920mm will just take the vest with it.
>>65444054I just want to rub it against my face, slowly, for hours. Occasionally licking it.
>>65444054Suddenly the deer population joins the mob
>>65446094>These ACTUALLY have harsh and unpleasant recoil, you really fucking feel it in your palm with every shot.I know, and I want one. :^) I'm eyeing one for $800.
