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.

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)

Great video, Scott! I was a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for 28 years. We were issued the S&W Model 15 .38 Special in the academy. 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.

Considering you're likely to meet large wildlife, like a T-Rex, while on patrol of the range in the KBLEA, it's a logical choice to issue the .500 Magnum as a side arm. Just, don't let Scooter have one.

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. For a personal hiking, fishing gun in grizzly bear country I carry a G20 in 10mm with hard casts that I find easier to shoot than the G22.

[@DenisR-tt1oe]

Considering that from what I gathered, most police department was afraid of the image the 357 magnum was giving. Some as per the scuttle but, was that they were afraid that some policeman armed with a magnum would go full Rambo. If the police department chief doesn't trust that his officers are going to do their job in a professional way, then he should have not hired them. Just saying. Most policeman I have encountered over the years are grounded and don't let it go to their heads, my dad included.

@@DenisR-tt1oe That may be true with many city police departments, but the .357 mag was quite common in many parts of the country.

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.

If you learn how to use speed loaders. You have more ammo, in a more reliable weapon. My favorite was always the Colt Python 357 magnum 4 inch barrel in stainless steel, and the Colt neoprene combat grips.

I carried the Staccato P Duo when I was a cop. Either on patrol pushing a tin can down the road or on SWAT, that pistol just worked and worked quite well. I’ve also got an FBI 1076, and yes she’s still getting holster time. Thanks Scott!

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.

[@ryanhurtt3284]

I was one of "Brad"'s FTO's at his first department prior to his going to KSP. He's one helluva good shot and an all around good officer, but when you called him out I immediately knew who you were talking about and burst out laughing.

[@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.

Its cool to see the pistol trends and to see how they line up with recorded events. A semi auto 10mm - Four years after the FBI Miami shootout. 40 S&W - when it became the trend. 9mm - Four years after the FBI summary about 9mm. 2011 - Because of John Wick, of course.

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.

I’ve only been to the range once and the second gun I fired was a S&W 686 (Glock 17 first, AR15 third) and I fell in love. Been wanting to get myself one ever since. I’ve got other priorities right now with a toddler and plans for a second little one but once they’re a bit older daddy might have to get around to buying that beautiful piece. Not to mention I’d also need my firearms license but it’d be so worth it.

[@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.

When I was a Deputy back in the mid and late 80s, I carried a hand-me-down S&W 4 inch 686. We carried .38 special +Ps. However, once we were fooling around at the range and I fired .357. It was perfect. That gun was made for a .357 magnum round.

I remember a trooper coming to our school in Ballard county when I was in middle school. When he asked if we had any questions we asked about his pistol and it was the S&W 1076. That was actually the first 10mm I ever saw in person. That was probably 91ish, so they hadn’t been carrying them long.

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.

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