I’ll go on record saying I have little use for this thing. At least not in the versions available to me. That’s not saying I won’t take the opportunity to shoot one given the chance or that I think we shouldn’t be allowed to own one. I did and we should. But as it stands, I can’t own the select-fire version I shot in the video above and if I can’t have that, I’ve got no use for it. All that said, my brief time with the KRISS SMG today was a lot of fun.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says Peachtree City police chief William McCollom called 911 just after 4 a.m. saying he had accidentally shot his wife, Margaret McCollom, 58, at their home on Autumn Leaf.

Fresh out of today’s WTF file: A police chief says he “accidentally” shot his wife. There were reports she’d been shot twice but, those reports have since been corrected. How exactly this happened has yet to be revealed. Even if it really was an “accident,” the most likely cause of this incident is the chief placing his booger-hook on the bang-switch while the muzzle was pointed in something other than a safe direction. Familiarity with firearms is not the same as competency with firearms.

In a time of so many stories about “bad cops” here we have yet another example of cops doing it right.

So, we mentioned during this week’s podcast that we were testing the FN SLP Mk1 shotgun. And as mentioned, the first test did not go well. Admittedly, we started out using reduced recoil 00-Buck, and thought the reduced load might have contributed to the gun’s failure to cycle.
To eliminate the human factor, I took a turn with the SLP. While my session started out showing some promise, it didn’t take the SLP long to take a dump in my hands too.
We gave up shortly after this so we could record the podcast but, I did stick around to do a second cleaning and lubrication of the SLP. A second range session was better but, not yet something to write home about. There’s more testing to be done. It may be that the gun just needed to be broken in…Time will tell. I’ll post a full review after the next session

Today’s podcast is up. We got a little testing in with the FN SLP Mk1 shotgun. Results so far are underwhelming. A second session was better but, the gun may be going back to FN. We also discussed the ATF’s two-step, back-step, lunacy/stupidity with respect to arm braces.
