....19and41; The link was broken, so, I pulled up topic heading and found this :

.......Words cannot describe this insanity. The one with the cop having cigarettes shot from his ears, would be a life or death ( more likely a probably death ) sentence by today's standards.

........Where was these LA Police Sharp Shooters 1997 ?

I thought it was mighty impressive. You couldn't find a person who could shoot that well, given the nature of the target, nor have the self discipline to act as a target support these days. That is probably why it seems so much more dangerous these days. And that was chalk he had in his ears, that had to be shattering to whatever hearing he had left when they were hit. No hearing protection either. Can you imagine them comparing notes with our sheriff? :-)

....The chalk was clipped off to the ear opening ;D

.....Even with using a highly accurate customized bench rested .22 rifle, I wouldn't volunteer to be the guinea pig.

....Walkin Small ?.........I wouldn't him, or his flunkies, with squirt pistols. ;D

.....Those was the good old days, when Deputies & Police carried duty revolvers......like the N-Frame S&W Model 27 & 28 and the Colt Pythons & Troopers. It took me many years to find that the large butt S&W .357 magnums was the 27 or 28. When I was a kid, I remember the size of the butt grips hanging from the belts of the police. The S&W 19 was a medium framed revolver, and the size of the grip stock wasn't quite as large as the N-Frame. It was a sight to behold, with seeing Stag Grips on nickel plated frames, with leather rigs. This was a time when you ask a Deputy, or a Police, a question about firearms and receive a straight answer.
