"Armed" bank guard.

[Glock21]

At an Indiana Bank - which will remain nameless - I've noticed a "security gurad" armed with, I kid you not, a Browning Buckmark. In full uniform, on duty, cheesey Uncle Mike's nylon holster to match. Yep, a .22.

And yes, I've spoken to him about this, but I figured I'd save that conversation for later on in the thread.

Comment away!

Rule #1 of a gun fight: Have a gun.

Maybe he figures that they will take his "duty" pistol first. So he is actually relying on the Glock 27 that he has in an ankle holster?

Although, the proper backup piece to a .22 duty pistol would almost have to be a NAA revolver in .22.

OH please just post the bank name. You can let us guess the branch.

That's ok, he can distract the robbers with his cap gun while I shoot them with my Glock

Yeah...

The fisrt thing I told him was that if he shoots anyone with it, and they find out about it, they'll be pissed.

I'll give you a hint - they have branches in IL and NW Indiana. And that's as far as I'm going with that.

That explains it. That's probably the biggest caliber they'll let him carry.

Hopefully it's the banking chain TomN helps support.

Tomn works for Edward Jones so I don't think that's it. (at least that's what's in his profile)

 

[Justus]

At least he was able to carry.

I worked (one day) as security at a bank and wasn't able to carry.

What did they want you to do, write a strongly-worded note to the bank robber?

I was at Bradis one weekend talking with Shooter about this and that and we got on the subject of Hi-Points. I was like who really buys those things? He said you'd be surprised. He's seen people come in that were just hired as a driver for an armored car service buy them.

Point of the story, at least the bank guard has a Browning and not a Hi-Point.

 

[Lars]

For as Ugly, and Heavy as Hi-Point pistols are. They work. Reliably even.

 

[Glock Lover]

I carry 22 , 22 DIFFERENT weapons that is!! :do2:


I had a Hi-point .380. It wouldn't shoot more than 2 rounds without some type of failure. Can't say it was very reliable. Tried fixing it and the magazines but it only got worse.

I had a radio, and that didn't even work properly.
I only did that job for a day, told them I wasn't interested in doing it after that.

i would never call a Hi-point a safe or reliable gun. an old friend of mine got a hi point 9mm and when he hit the slide relese. to chamber a round from the new mag he had just put in. It fired as the slide slamed forword and his finger was on the slide release (sadly he did get hurt)it also jamed alot.

so at least the 22 can kill the bad guy and not hurt him in the prosess. (note just because we like to make fun of the lil 22 reamber its the only round that can do what it can. The fact that it can hit your sholder and end up hitting your heart there have been LEO's killed like that.)

No he hands him one of these and the crisis is diverted.

Wouldn't this make more sense?
