Adam,
Your experiance and my experiance is exactly the same. Your assesment is spot on. I spent many years as a combat arms instructor for and to our local LEOs. I can count on one hand the officers I would call proficent of 4 Counties. Now, that is a very sad comment on our local City, State and County officers.
It is amazing to watch officers become phisicly ill awaiting a simple firearms qualification, because they have failed to practice in order to remain even basicly proficient with the gun they carry every day. I have heard all of the excuses and still can not fathom a person whom carries a gun for a living being unable to use it. It boggles the mind.
But NY, NY has even more problems in that the culture of anti gun is so extreame it carries over to the police force and their training and most certinly their equipment. The NY triggers as required by NY City are amazing, as an example. Go to a Glock custom site and look at the NY triggers, what an abomination.
