nakhonandy Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 As many have said, what about all the SIGs? Obviously the pickings are better in Jomtien as I have never seen a copper with a revolver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that another one of those rorts that never happened and of which we can not speak. Or maybe that all got sold off through other channels? Still waiting well after ours was paid for over a year ago so a refund was asked and given no interest paid back of course. Someone made a nice packet out of that deal !

yellowboat Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 "Now they hope to look more CSI than RTP" Really ? A new gun will achieve that ? How about better pay, no working on the side for conglomerates and ethics; no bribes, no cheating on exams. Did anyone think to consult the 12 year gun smith in Chiang Mai ? Her opinion would be most important as to the maintenance of the weapon. Also, what will they do with old guns. When Royal Hong Kong Police department got ride of their six shooters, they went for a lot of money. Not sure of the RTP ones would be as sought after.

Whoever wrote this knows zilch about guns. I hope the police know more. Hard to believe they're still using wheel guns. When these people dont know how to maintain a firearm a wheelgun is by far a better option and yes the Sigs are 9mm oh dear they can't even get the facts right !

mrfill Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 No problem with the old guns. They can give them to their kids to play with as I have heard the mantra that 'guns don't kill people...' so the guns must be totally harmless. What could possibly go wrong?

jonwilly Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 And I thought the Thai Policeman bought his own gun. CM Police seem to have mix of revolvers and auto's, no standardisation. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanlic Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 This is no big deal or won't be after the police have had some target practice with their new found toys, on anything that moves, accidental shooting should go back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) The standard issue may be a 6 shot .38 revolver, but a lot of cops purchase their own semi-auto pistols with significantly larger magazine capacities. But, I'm sure they'll be happy to get the new weaponry. That's a Glock Gen 4 in the video although not sure of the model. If they are shooting .38 that I'd guess what they are purchasing is either the G25 or G28 manufactured for Law Enforcement that is cambered for the .380 semi-auto cartridge.

Yep. 150k Sig P320's. I believe the US Army have just adopted the Sig P320 as their new side arm. But Glocks are on TV. Besides which Glock may have offered a "good deal" to win the business.

It totally fits the Thailand 0.04 mindset where they replace mini vans with greater buses to avoid accidents. Nice side effect: now even the last road rage enthusiasts, students from rival gangs, jealous husbands and notorious face losers can buy a 2nd hand gun from a reliable source.

You can't miss fast enough to win a gunfight! 15 rounds are no better than none at all if you can't hit your target! What happened to the Sigs? They're really good pistols, used by special ops around the world? Maybe the salesman for the Glockenspeil 17/19 offered a "good" deal??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thongkorn Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 My wife use to be a Small arms instructor for the Police in Samut Prakan, A 6 shooter was unheard of.

off road pat Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 5 hours ago, Langsuan Man said: Yes, good news and just think Duangchalerm son of the Thai politician Chalerm Yubamrung, who, as head firearms instructor at the Thai Royal Police Academy, is going to train these policemen to use their new toy (once they figure out which ammunition to use since the US Glock Website states that the Glock 17 is 9mm only) He has plenty of experience since he beat the rap for shooting a RTP undercover officers in a bar fight in Nov of 2001. He escaped to Malaysia and eventually returned and was acquitted after all the witnesses suffered significant memory losses Even was promoted since the Army did not feel his stay in Malaysia constituted desertion and was "laterally" transferred to the RTP And people wonder Who's your daddy Yes, I remember everything,...TIT......only in Thailand !?!?

Shooting in local service pistol competition, I like using the Glock 17, 9mm. But there are a lot of nice pistols. For fun...I like the black powder Sturm-Ruger "Old Army" stainless steel .45 cap and ball revolver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
