What does this mean? We issue every copper a Colt Commando with T-1, Fury and either a VTAC or VCAS sling. This is their "duty" gun and for the most part it rides around in the rack, sits on the locker and occasionally gets dragged out on calls.
I have a Frankengun that has over 20K fired thru it with no issues other than normal parts breaking for that round count. It has a quality BCG and Barrel. During the year that I was kicked off SWAT for a sustained IA on being discourteous to a senior officer, it was my duty gun since Sergeants do not get issued rifles.
Without question I trusted my personal gun more than the Colt pool guns I could have checked out at start of shift. Acceptable as a duty gun or do you want to know the make and model of everything on the gun before you feel comfortable saying it was duty ready?
Or is duty ready more along the lines of what military personnel require? Or is duty ready really mean that it has been wrung out, it's accurate and its capable of doing the job?
