News from The Sight M1911
Volume 203, 4/22/06
The Boston Police Department's Entry & Apprehension Team has placed its order for the new Revolution 1911 which will be their new duty pistol. SIG was notified by the Deputy Superintendent Thomas Lee, Commander, Special Operations of the Boston Police Department, back on the first of February. In his fax he noted that the Revolution was selected "after extensive testing and evaluation from our firearms instructors of several different 1911 pistols."
In other 1911 news, rumor has it that Kimber is quietly abandoning the external extractor, even to the extent of replacing slides on troubled external extractor pistols with internal extractor slides when they come into the shop for repair. This information is unconfirmed, but I have picked it up from more than one source.
Also unsubstantiated but relayed to me with great conviction, is that the new service sidearm will be a double-stack SIG in .45 ACP.

OH, BLOOMBERG ONCE OWNED A GUN...
NYC Mayor Michael Blowhard would rather sue gun stores making legal sales than to go after criminals. And, of course, he doesn't believe law abiding citizens should be able to conceal carry for protection. But really, folks, he supports gun ownership.
