So, I was reading over a new members post about how his wife works for the crime lab and how they were going to upgrade to the new Gen4 glocks shortly. My question is this... Why is the government replacing a perfectly working gun?
I understand after awhile (years and years) you might want to upgrade. And maybe an upgrade from a revolver to a semi in some departments would be understandable. (Upgrade?... Maybe...
)
But in this struggling time where our government (federal, mostly I know.) is over spending, why are we going out and buying an "upgraded" gun that performs exactly like the version it is replacing save.... some back straps and possibly the RTF version?
I am not in any way bashing that users wife, or her crime lab. I am just frustrated at this nonsensical use of tax payers money.
Thoughts?
PS Its in this section because they are upgrading glocks and there is no other section for it.
