That's pretty bad. Their issue weapon is the HK USP .40 Compact LEM, and the first pull is long and hard. You would think being part of DHS they would be more responsible!

Of my problems with the FDO program, the (quality of the) training isn't one of them.
But training only goes so far. I'm waiting to hear the rest of the case here.
