During an arrest in a high drug-crime part of the city, he and his partner got into a scuffle with a perp. Rather than put one in his torso, he pistol-whipped him and broke the polymer grip off the weapon. "Damn fancy plastic crap" is how he describes any polymer-framed gun. He keeps on about how happy he was with his Police Positive.
He's getting old and grumpy, but I still laugh every time he tells the story (over and over again)!
The guy should carry a Hi-Point. The weight alone would drop a perp if pistol whipped with it. If it broke on impact it wouldn’t matter ‘cause the perp woul dbe unconscious.
