I believe the words "Police", and "Tactical", are merely buzz words. I bought the PSS because at the time it was the only heavy barreled 300 Win. Mag. that I could find. No more no lesss. If I was a police officer I do not believe I would trust my life to an out of the box PSS, I would definitely buy a custom, controlled feed rifle. But then I am not a semi-automatic pistol fan either, unless it is a rattler(1911). Tom.
