...please enlighten me on how easy it has been to explain away the 1.6 billion rounds.

I did the math with some estimates on holding some in reserve, using some for routine proficiency training of agents over the next 5 years. (based on estimates of # agents with firearms). It works out but...

As others pointed out to me, my estimate of 100 to 200 rounds per agent per month is probably very high. Sheesh. That means I'm far better trained and practiced with my firearms than they are. If the numbers others quoted me are real, then I am at least as proficient/familiar as they are. (though I do have this tendency to push left with the 9mm when shooting right handed, I think it's incurable, though less pronounced during rapid-fire drills)

The other problem with this "explanation" is that these are all hollow points. Sheesh! I train with cheap FMJ (but no more Tul Ammo!) where the JHP the DHS is buying is 3x to 4x the cost of FMJ.

Yeah, individually, if you want to strain credulity a little, you can explain away many of the moves by hussein, DHS, and others. Taken collectively though, they are very, very ominous. Will future generations criticize us for being so blind right now? I don't know, but I'm starting to worry.

It is likely you are anticipating recoil and pushing the weapon forward (a little left and slightly low). Relax and let the shot break slow fire. Rapid fire, you don't have the time to nudge the pistol.

The 1.6 billion were all hollow points?

Can you verify that, please?

Thanks!

Oh....and do you know how many agencies does DHS buy for...and how many gun carrying agents do these agencies have?

I've heard that DHS consolidated 22 agencies..but I've never heard the number of gun qualifiers they have.

TIA
