The A1 is the U. Some police agencies are equipping their patrol vehicles with a double-gun rack that can accept both carbines and shotguns.
Others are using single racks with replaceable inserts to carry both as required. Police services that do not equip every vehicle with a carbine and use a single rack are finding problems when quickly switching from the short collapsible stock of the carbine to the full stock of the shotgun in the same mount.
In a Blue Line head-to-head test of the best in aftermarket stocks and accessories for the Police, the best overall solution was the Mesa Tactical Urbino stock.
It uses a fixed, shorter length-of-pull stock and a rubberized pistol grip that results in an overall length not much longer than an AR-style collapsible stock conversion.
The Urbino stock can be used by officers large or small with equal ease and, unlike a collapsible stock conversion, does not bop longer-armed officers on the nose with every shot, nor does it catch facial hair in the joint between the stock tube and the sliding plastic stock. Not fun. Trust me. Nearly as fast as a straight stock, the Urbino also renders full-house buckshot or slug rounds to almost a pleasure.
Future trends It is hard to predict what will happen 10 years from now. I would speculate makes and models may be upgraded, but percentages will stay relatively stable in Canada. Until those futuristic weapons are designed that will quickly work in the middle of a real-life dynamic situation, the best gun in the world is the one you have in your hand when you need it the most. I am guessing it will probably be not that much different from the one on your hip right now.

Pump-action shotguns still rule the roost, but semi-autos are commanding more attention. Autoloaders are easier to shoot while moving or from non-typical positions. Some semi-auto shotguns also transmit less felt recoil to the shoulder. Buckshot remains the most commonly utilized police shotgun ammunition.
Today, all of the major manufacturers are turning out reduced recoil or tactical loads optimized for law enforcement. This offering prints hand-size patterns out to 20 yards and felt recoil is considerably less than garden variety buckshot loads used for hunting.
Many agencies have replaced their traditional pumps with semi-auto shotguns and while this is all well and good, a word of caution is in order. Pumps are omnivorous and will digest everything from light, less lethal rounds up to magnum buck and slug loads. Fortunately, rounds such as Hornady TAP Light Magnum have been developed that will ensure reliability, yet throw tight, even patterns throughout practical range.
Rifled slugs give the shotgun even greater potential and come highly recommended. A shotgun loaded with slugs has limited rifle capability and can be used to engage a threat well beyond practical handgun or buckshot distance. Slugs can also defeat light barriers such as automobile doors or windshield glass. Shotguns Still Rock Many law enforcement officers view shotgun training in the same light as an IRS audit or root canal surgery. That is indeed unfortunate because they will never be comfortable with one of the better tools in the police armory.
I, for one, am not ready to give up on it and after one considers the shotguns tributes, it is easy to see why it will still be with us into the foreseeable future. In close quarters, the shotgun remains the undisputed heavyweight champ.
By Bill Campbell. Two heavily-armed and armored gunmen brazenly walked into the bank, robbed it and held officers of the Los Angeles Police Department in a deadly gunfight for nearly an hour. This particular incident has been viewed as one of the turning points for the police firearms culture.
Because of these events, law enforcement was forced to recognize that first-responding officers must have the ability to protect themselves and their community better in mid-range gunfights, bringing about the patrol rifle trend. In some instances, local government treasuries were opened and money that never seemed available before suddenly appeared in order to arm first responders across the nation with rifles. Those of us who were arguing for the use of rifles long before the North Hollywood incident were asked to create training programs, select rifles and arm our officers appropriately, in hopes that a scene resembling North Hollywood would not happen again.
In the 10 years that have passed, the trend has successfully swept the nation, resulting in the patrol rifle becoming the primary long gun of the first responder. However, this article is not about the patrol rifle; its success speaks for itself. When we recognized the need for rifles and armed ourselves appropriately, how many officers no longer concerned themselves with the bulky and seemingly archaic shotgun?
How many sheriffs and chiefs bought into the concept of patrol rifles and pulled the shotguns altogether? How many shotguns are gathering dust in the corner of departmental armories?
What is the role of the police shotgun now that we have rifles? Rather, it was meant to fill a specific purpose in mid-range gunfights. I want to offer ideas as to how, where and when you and your agency might still use it. The police shotgun has been loved by cops for years. That sound gave comfort to officers and filled suspects with a quick dose of reality.
The shotgun was my best friend in the patrol car for many years, and when the rifle joined us, I found myself taking a deeper look at when I needed the rifle versus when my shotgun would be more appropriate. While it may not be my first choice at all high-risk calls, it can certainly fill many roles. Loaded with heavy buckshot, the shotgun places multiple high-energy projectiles on the target instantly.
He was discussing cyclic rate and accuracy and boasting the sheer power coming from the sub-gun. He described how he could put 60 rounds with a mag.
While I agreed with him, I mentioned the similarity of the Benelli shotgun that I was currently carrying. He was puzzled for a moment until I pointed out that my semi-auto Benelli M-1 could hold nine rounds of. I then explained that I knew several officers including me who could fire that Benelli fast enough to empty all nine rounds into the target in about two seconds.
That meant we could fire 81 rounds of near 9mm ammunition in less than three seconds. In a comparison of fire power and speed, that shotgun was faster than any sub-gun I had ever used or knew of.
