Yeah, that was my reaction. What?!?<br /><br />Google the term "590DA". I'm not kidding. There's references on Wikipedia:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossberg_500<br /><br />...and more in this forum post:<br /><br />http://shootersforum.com/showthread.htm?t=2804<br /><br />---<br />The 590DA fires with a long, deliberate stroke of the trigger for each shot. This new, innovative design provides a faster, easier transition from service sidearm to shotgun, as it requires no substantial change to the widely accepted DAO firing procedures of today's most advanced service revolvers and DAO pistols.<br />---<br /><br />Very little is known outside of law enforcement circles, since nobody else would be stupid enough...Jim Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830919998461849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-40326932161448912972009-10-26T15:06:28.478-05:002009-10-26T15:06:28.478-05:00How could that even be attempted, Jim?

It's a fact the department ordered heavier springs in their Glocks, but Glocks are designed with adjustable trigger pulls. Mossberg shotties ain't. If those morons tried to do with the shotties what they did with their Glocks...oh crap.Jim Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830919998461849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-67558753461102559032009-10-25T23:42:58.184-05:002009-10-25T23:42:58.184-05:00True story:

Fortunately, she was fine, but very shaken as:<br /><br />a) She'd only had her license a few months at that point and<br />b) Her car, an old Saab given to her by a friend was totaled.<br /><br />The accident occurred in front of a local 7-11. As it happens, there were two Fairfax County, Virginia, patrol cars, each with two officers in the parking lot of the 7-11. They witnessed the accident and were able to vouch for the fact that my daughter was not at fault.<br /><br />It was all i could do to not run inside and buy them all a case of Twinkies.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-59941181299189821702009-10-25T23:33:24.004-05:002009-10-25T23:33:24.004-05:00Given that Albuquerque PD really, truly, absolutel...Given that Albuquerque PD really, truly, absolutely not an urban legend, sent a police helicopter on a donut run...<br /><br />I'm thinking "never".LabRathttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.com
