013 - Wheel Gun to Glock: Paul Bowman
Send us a Text Message.
Today I am talking to Paul Bowman who was the department range master in the 1980's when the Kansas City Police Department transitioned from revolvers to semi-automatic handguns. This transition from over 100 years of one type of gun to a completely different type, is actually one of the biggest changes in law enforcement history. In less than one generation, over 15,000 departments and agencies changed from primarily carrying revolvers to primarily carrying semi autos. And with change comes fear, resistance, and growing pains.
Paul and I made an effort here to talk about guns in a way that is accessible to non-shooters. I want people who are unfamiliar with some of these guns and their histories to be able to follow along, while still giving experienced shooters enough new information to keep them engaged too. And I think we did a pretty good job of it too, although I had a hard time reigning in my enthusiasm. Paul is just one of those guys with whom it's fun to talk about guns.
