Army adopted the M14 rifle after the Korean War with the rifle officially adopted in the later 1950s. Pistol caliber carbines are a poor choice for police work, but I suppose they are a useful expedient for half-trained individuals. 223 rifles, and shotgun slugs for penetration and accuracy. 41 Magnum 210-grain load penetrated a door, struck the heavy metal backing of a 1970s Chrysler front seat, and bounced upward and through the roof. 45 ACP bullet bouncing off tempered door glass when it hit the glass at a severe angle. 308 will cut through two vehicle doors, and still exhibit excellent wound potential. The 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge will successfully engage subjects behind cover or while wearing heavy body armor. The SOCOM is a fast handling and effective. 308 caliber self-loader made for the ideal patrol rifle. Having to work a bolt or lever is ridiculous when quality self-loading rifles are available. While I subscribe to the one-shot one-hit paradigm sometimes one doesn’t do it and sometimes the shot misses. Later, I tried the SKS rifle and then the Colt HBAR. In common with Washington State Police at the time, and the LAPD a little earlier, I began with a Winchester. Just the same, it would not have been wise to not be prepared on a level playing field. The dynamics of the incidents I survived were little different than those faced by urban officers, and the rifle never came into play. Springfield and Hornady make a great combination. The primary focus was people passing through, and I worked a pipeline of drug smuggling. Working in a rural environment, where every household it seemed had a scope-mounted rifle, also colored my choices.
During the war on terror, and the war on drugs, peace officers often faced heavily-armed felons willing to shoot it out with peace officers. Some time ago, I began upgrading my on duty gear by a great degree.
