[@IAMHyde]

My dad is a retired NC state trooper, and 2 weeks ago, he gave me his S&W 686 that he carried during his career. And it has the NCSHP badge engraved in it as well!

[@jep1st]

So the cops in the US can keep their service weapon after they retire? That's pretty cool.

[@IAMHyde]

@@jep1st more often than not, yes. And if I remember correctly, the agency they work for can’t give them to the officers for free (actually, that probably varies depending on the agency and where it’s located and all that), so they would sell them for like, $1. Because if they were switching to a new duty weapon, there’s no point in having all these guns that aren’t being used anymore just sitting around.

[@JakeStuckAtHome]

@@IAMHyde I wish that were the case with us. We switched from the Glock 22 gen 4 to the new gen 5 and they wanted to try to sell us our old duty weapons for like $30 less than you could find one in any gun store (these guns have been dogged, 1000's and 1000's of rounds sent through them too btw)

Over the years I’ve also carried a 4” S&W mod. 686, a Beretta M9, an HK USP .45, an Sig P220 .45, and a S&W M&P 9mm. My off duty pistols were a Smith mod. 60, and a Smith mod. 66 2-1/2”, and an HK P2000 9mm. Now that I’m retired I usually carry a Sig P365.

Senior produce correspondent ema nekaf on the ground with more information. Take it away Ema. Ema: this all started when KSP officer Scott Ballistic was threatened with an eggplant while performing a traffic stop. After screaming "nobody likes eggplants" loud enough to break windows, Scott proceeded to punt the eggplant 73 yards down the highway. Following this he seems to have had a mental break and went on a vegetable destroying rampage, using vehicles, guns, and his feet to destroy the eggplant sticks of at least 8 different grocery stores.

I really really like this video. My Dad, Shelby Riggs, was with the KSP from 1948 to 1968 with most of that as their primary firearms instructor and armorer. During that time they carried the Smith & Wesson model 10 in .38 special. I even got to go to the Smith & Wesson factory with him in the early 60s. But my dad pushed hard for them to adopt the .357 magnum. Unfortunately they didn’t adopt the model 19 until after he had left the department to be a cofounder of Gall’s police equipment. I continued to have friends and associates who were troopers in the succeeding decades so I got to follow all the guns that they adopted. Nice to see all of those pistols fired in sequence that way, and see how their ammunition performed. Well done!

[@craigbenz4835]

Glad to hear more. I was disappointed that he started with the 686.

I was on the road in 84'. Everyone was switching over to the Berretta or the Glock. I opted out of the change and retained my 4" S&W Model 28 "N" frame in .357. WIth two comp II safariland speed loaders. A few weeks later the guys started that Matt Dillion name calling. Screw it thought. I'm comfortable and assured of my abilities. Change is not always a good thing.

Maybe those changes are good for most people, and for new people, it might be way better.

Bad logic. Things to consider are A) What happens when you run out of ammo and bad guy is still a threat? B)Reloading a revolver even with a speed loader under pressure is significantly harder than reloading a magazine and C) What happens when suspect is shooting from cover and your rounds miss/hit the cover he is behind.

I honestly don't know if they teach them in their academy or what, but state troopers/highway patrolmen always seem to have a super-erect stance and swagger to them. Like drill sergeants/drill instructors. Maybe it's the vests under their shirts (if they wear them) or the high-and-tight or the campaign hats in a lot of states, but there's just a particular stance to them--ramrod straight, chest out, elbows back, arms slightly out from the sides, jaw jutting out, chin high--that makes them intimidating. If it's taught, they learn it well.

From a Retired AK State Trooper, enjoy the heck out of this video, about time a real cop is on KZbin. Carried the 686 till we switched to the .40 S&W 4006 in 92' for a decade. A clunker, hated it. Switched to the Glock 22 in .40 and carried it until retired. Liked it a lot. They now went to the G17 with an optic in 9mm just this year which seems to be the trend nationally like the .40 was once.

Considering that from what I gathered, most police department was afraid of the image the 357 magnum was giving.

Dang the 500 Magnum at the end got me 😂

[@edwardperkins9949]

Yeah, if ya can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen! Laughing 😂 Take care!

Fun fact, the vast majority of hand cuffs work with the same key. They can be purchased off Amazon and may be a decent investment depending in your lifestyle.

[@danielhall-wl4ql]

been arrested so many times here in Kentucky and they no I'm harmless and unless its a new rookie cop they toss me the cuffs , Put my own cuffs on! jump in the back. im no role model but OK for a criminal anyway

[@DavidSprings]

Back in my LEO days, we carried the S&W model 57 N-frame .41 Magnum. But that was a looooong time ago, kid.

[@bow99hunter]

S&W 686 4 in barrel, in stainless was my first duty carry weapon. Carried 147gr. Winchester Silvertip(Werewolf Bullets). That was back in 1987 The department didn't issue any guns. Had to carry your own.

[@richardfassett9755]

The KSP is older than the 686. What they carried early on would be interesting. When I started the County Sheriffs in 1974 my first issue was a S&W 36 with 11 rounds of 158 round nose lead ammo. Ended 2021 with a Glock 17 Gen5 which I still have.

[@brookecooper9159]

Love ur vids man happy 4th of july

[@Northbravo]

Imagine Scott pulling up to the side of your car telling you that your tail light was out. Absolute unit with a heart of gold.

[@brandiwynter]

As a former police officer, I loved this video. IIRC, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol carried S&W 64's back in revolver days. I do remember seeing them as a kid. I can say for sure that sometime in the late 80's early 90's, they switched to Glocks, the troopers I knew were carrying G22 .40S&W although may be other authorized guns as well. Not sure what they switched to after that but I think they went a G17 9mm and then a Sig P320 with the option of carrying the G17 if they choose. At my department we had our choice of several different guns approved by the city, which makes sense since we had to provide our own. I started with a GP100 because I was too poor to buy a new semi auto lol. Then switched to a used S&W 59 which I loved. After that I switched to the G21 .45acp which I also loved. I left law enforcement after that. If I were still there I would probably choose a G22MOS and then lust after the Staccato because I would be too poor to buy one lol.

[@austinjames5925]

You just know this man was the absolute unit on his force. I’m sure his coworkers miss him when something needs breaching. Much respect Scott! You seem like a kind man, and I’m sure you made the world a better place in your time on duty.

13:30 I don't know why I expected anything less 😂 Also, most guys first get into firearms from their dad, but I got into them from my mom. She was a cop in Illinois in the early 80s, and she carried a Smith and Wesson Model 13-1 .357 Magnum that I still have.

[@LumanareM]

It's amazing you were a part of the force! Even more so that you still have your actual pistol they issued you! That alone made it my favorite of the vid!

Has Scooter been eating "Tide pods" again ? 😂

[@austindavis1984]

As a big law enforcement supporter due to my dad being former law enforcement and me now about to start my career as a probation officer, I really enjoyed this video. I enjoy your videos in general but you having a personal connection made it that much better.

[@Gojiragamer54]

Friendly fire between scooter and Scott, LOL. Loved the vid as always!

[@philssmallengines]

Thank you for your service, I started in law enforcement in 2006 18 years and counting, and love the law enforcement tribute. Keep up the great work.

[@xion1629]

And thank you for yours. Not sure why, but most of you seem a little uncomfortable to hear that in person - at least from my experience. Two of my good friends from grade school are in law enforcement, so I get how thankless it can be and try to express gratitude where I can. Even moreso because a lot of current LEOs are also military veterans

[@philssmallengines]

@@xion1629 thank you even when I’m off duty and see another police officer I think them for their service all the time. I think deep down every law-enforcement officer feels good when they hear it.

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

Keep in mind that prior to the mid-90s, that Remington .357 load would have been loaded about 8000 PSI hotter and about 200 fps faster. That 10mm was interesting. I would have loved to know what it chrono'd.

[@boostimalaka1]

We had the Federal Hydrashok 200 grain 10mm ammunition as our option for an off duty or back up caliber since we were issued 124 grain +P+ Hydrashok in our Glock 19. We also had the 147 grain +P+ .38 Special ammunition. We couldn’t carry a .45 caliber pistol because of politics. From what I heard, the Federal Hydrashok in 10mm wasn’t loaded to real 10mm performance. The Georgia Arms 10mm 165 Grain Gold Dot was only 1100 FPS. I know Underwood back around 2009 was loading some really good 10mm ammunition. The 180 grain Gold Dot was no joke.

[@eTiMaGo]

if only Scott had a chronograph... :D

[@ferdberffle]

I started my LE career with a S&W 27-2 .357. When we were allowed to use semi-autos a few years later, we were issued Colt 1911's.

Awesome as always Scott! Never miss a vid. Firstly, *THANK YOU* for your service to the people! I am fully cognizant and grateful of the fact that you laid your life on the line everyday for the naïve masses. That takes a special kind of person. I did wonder why you left law enforcement, though. Now I know. Actually, you just confirmed my suspicions. From what I gather you are doing far better for yourself and family with this KZbin masterpiece. I can't wait for the next video!!

[@dimaworkout6706]

It’s interesting that over time, the Kentucky police have a tendency to reduce the power of the cartridge 357 Mag - 10 mm - 40 SW - 9 mm. And in Russia everything is even more interesting, here the Makarov Pistol (PM) 9x18 mm has been used since 1951 and to this day nothing has changed.

[@lardomcfarty9866]

10mm is about equal in power to. 357 mag if you use comparable barrel lengths.

[@robdubent]

Ooof. Sorry for ya

[@garywayne6083]

I have a Makarov here, along with its lanyard-equipped grip. I really like it but I can understand wanting something more as a duty piece!

[@rdrrr]

Are there any plans to replace the Makarov in police service? Or is it still "good enough"?

[@АлексейБрусенцев-ж8щ]

​@@rdrrrда, в 2021 году был принят на вооружение пистолет Лебедева (Lebedev pistol), 14 патронов 9x19mm. Но я думаю процесс замены будет не очень быстрым.

I was a Deputy Sheriff for several years in the 1980's. I carried a S&W Mdl. 28 4" .357 mag as a duty weapon most of that time. Great weapon, easy to shoot well with practice.
