Philadelphia cop: "Our pistols must have an 8-pound trigger pull".

[George Sr.]

Louis: I was on the Phila.Police Dept. for 37 yrs. the last 11 yrs as a firearms instructor. From the time the Glock was adopted an 8lb. trigger pull was required.Nothing new.The pistol was adopted in 1992. The 8lb trigger is not that much of a problem since most Police Shootings are within 21 ft. and half of those are within 3-12 feet.I prefer a 5lb. trigger but the 8lb. was for safety. Although I too feel is is not necessary the only safety is the user.
