No worries, he's ambidextrous now.

As for the OP linked article, the FBI is behind the curve this time. In my neck of the woods in CA, a lot of the bigger agencies are switching back to 9mm for several reasons. The 9mm has about half the chamber pressure so the pistols last longer, less muzzle climb so the pistols are easier to shoot (especially for marginal shooters) and premium ammo is performing almost at the same level of terminal performance as 40 S&W. The FBI switching ammo will convince a lot of agencies to switch also as the FBI does have a certain level of influence in this area.

I think OT mentioned how he's learned that different agencies have different qualification and training requirements. He's right. You would think something like that would be pretty standardized but it's not. I've worked in 2 agencies in my county so far and both of them require qualification for each quarter of the year (4 times per year). Most of the training cops receive is more tactical in nature but using good tactics can help prevent you from having to shoot or walking into an ambush.

In both agencies, some people were into guns and shot a lot while other people didn't own a gun and only shot their issued duty gun when they had to.

Like OT, I would say that making a blanket statement about LEO's shooting abilities is inaccurate and misleading. There are several dead criminals who would also say that unfortunately some of the cops can shoot very well.
