Hear ya. My 5906 reset feels like a 1/16" at the most. The blood pumping through my trigger finger could make it fire.

List of killings by law enforcement officers in Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of people killed by non-military law enforcement officers in Canada, both on duty and off, and regardless of reason or method. Inclusion in the lists implies neither wrongdoing nor justification on the part of the person killed or the officer involved; the listing merely documents the occurrence of a death.
This list is incomplete. There are no concrete stats on fatal shootings by law enforcement officers in Canada, though the range has been estimated to be between 15 and 25 per year.[1][2] Statistics Canada only tracks fatal police shootings if an officer is criminally charged.[3]

Ok, so no stats, just an (uninformed or otherwise) opinion
Show me a case where the individual complied with officers and was still shot? Trigger happy or not when the guy with the gun and badge shows up it's time to play "simon says" and both LISTEN and DO as you are TOLD. following directions isn't difficult and a guy in uniform(or not really) with a gun pointed at you is universal the globe over... YOU ARE NO LONGER IN CONTROL, DO AS YOU'RE TOLD AND CHOOSE YOUR MOVES WISELY.
The 5946 is a decent enough handgun. I like it well enough. The only reliability problems I've had were during training when we switched mags. Someone managed to switch up a mag that was bunk. I'm marking the mags now to avoid any future swaps.
That assumes the individual in question is in complete control of their faculties and understands there is a danger to them if they don't comply. Sadly people who should be under psychological supervision, or on drugs, often are not and are on the streets.

I do volunteer work and am in contact with both mentally handicap people with bi-polar disorders and/or chemical imbalances, seizures, self-injury disorder...etc, who would not react well, or as expect, to such heavy handed measures.

Not the officers problem. Illness or not, if you're a threat to the officer or the public you get dealt with. One life isn't worth the risk of several others... Greyhound bus beheading ring a bell? I would argue that people who are not in control of their faculties are more of a threat to the public than those with control who electively CHOOSE to be scumbags.
Sticking with the thread topic. Can any members or former members shed some light on why 9mm was chosen? Seems the RCMP were/are ahead of their time in this choice.
