38 Law Enforcement Technology March 2014 www.officer.com F I R E A R M S TA C T I C S H ello from the SHOT Show! I'm the guy running from firing lane to firing lane trying to test everything in the brief amount of time one gets during "a day at the range." The second day I cruised the floor in a vain attempt to take it all in. At the range Daniel Defense was one of my first stops. I got to see and shoot their new Mk12 featuring with an 18-inch Cold Hammer Forged stainless 1:7 twist bar- rel (optimized for for 77gr ammo), full length gas system, Geissele SSA two- stage trigger, and a BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle. You should know that many of the premium guns I looked at had Geissele triggers in common. The buzz I'm hear- ing is the consistency of pull, as well as a reliable trigger weight. This is a drop in Shoot and tell This year at SHOT Lindsey bumps into a legend, fires his dream gun and finds a tac boot that feels like a running shoe B Y L I N D S E Y B E R T O M E N (Inset) Late in 2010, Springfield Armory introduced the Range Officer in 45. While not designed as a duty gun, most of us would buy it because it's a Springfield and "Range Officer" is a cool name. Springfield's 9mm Range Officer (introduced this year) is as smooth as the 45 with 9mm recoil. LET_38-42_FirearmsTactics0314.indd 38 2/24/14 10:44 AM
