Joe Montegnia I think is on Criminal minds also. Last edited by dogtag; at PM. Originally Posted by dogtag. Yep, that be him. Thought so, wasn't certain Yes Joe M. Plays Rossi He is one of my Favorite charters.
He does carry a 65 3" one of the guns I am looking for and no the FBI does not issue revolvers anymore. Strange they never do explain why he carries a revolver Greg.

He doesn't have the range time. He failed some of the qualification. I'm always backing up and freezing scenes to determine exactly what firearms actors are using. I see mostly Sigs, but also Glocks and 's but not as much as I do Sigs these days.
Decades ago when I was a youngster growing up, my daddy always enjoyed watching television shows. Something would come on about guns and if he did not like it, he had a saying. Trying that in real life and it wouldn't work. Originally Posted by Revolver M Last edited by Texas Star; at AM.

If you make a post like that and don't amplify your meaning by using the right Smilies, I can't tell how to respond.
If you mean, does the FBI still authorize revolvers, my source was a post on this board by an actual Special Agent. If you mean why do I think the show is anti-gun and anti-hunting, that refers to the content and slant of certain episodes.
In particular, the bowhunters stalking humans and the comments of the cast, and the surprise and horror that they felt on learning that a stalking victim in Texas had bought a shotgun without a lengthy approval process. If you mean why do I think that three cast members should be replaced, it's because I've occasionally worked with FBI agents and read books by John Douglas and others about the Behavorial Science Unit.
Those cast members are just not realistic and were placed there to appeal to certain segments of the viewing audience, I guess, or to provide mild comic relief.
I hope that somewhere in there I answered your question. Last edited by Rule3; at AM. Reason: kant spel good. Originally Posted by Rule3. Joe Mantegna is very Pro gun and a avid shooter.

One thing that's interesting is that both, in real life are excellent singers. Back to Reid. He is a genius and a walking computer, he can carry anything, anywhere he wants. Without him and Penelope, the "team" would be lost.
I've never seen the show, but Texas Star has it right as far as current Bureau guns go. No one is authorized any kind of revolver. This caused great consternation when it came out, since a lot of guys still had J frames as backups and off-duty guns. Anything other than a Glock is a rarity these days. My Sig is personally owned and grandfathered in. All Bureau issued Sigs have been recalled and replaced with Glocks. All Smiths are verboten now, even personally owned ones. I was qualifying a guy with a until around when the gun vault demanded he return it or face disciplinary action.
The vast majority of FBI Glocks are 22s, with a bunch of 23s coming out with newer classes. Lots of guys also have 27s, which are all personally-owned, Bureau-approved guns.
A few guys carry personally owned 21s. The is authorized for current and former SWAT members who have been through the transition course for it. Its the Springfield single stack, and guys that are authorized it can buy the same model from Springfield and carry that as a personally owned gun.
I think when the show first started he was carrying a Glock. He took out a bad guy with it in one head shot. After being praised for his good shooting he stated he was shooting at the guy's leg. Reason for the switch? Originally Posted by fiasconva. My understanding is the Ried carries that revolver because he is miserable shooting a Glock.
While it's definately not an approved firearm in todays FBI the show is after all fiction. Personally I find many of the story lines a bit too creepy so I don't follow the show closely.
However I will tune in occasionally when the story line is somewhat reasonable. The picture of this TV character that was posted looks different than the last time I watched this show, which was several years ago. At that time I seem to remember a longer barreld piece in a non-discript holster that hung almost at 1 o'clock-right out front. If the picture is an accurate depiction of his new setup, I would have to say that I favor it, especially if I were mounted-or sitting down.
The nice thing about a slight rearward cant is that it is easily moved to the weak side for cross draw. I use the IWB appendix carry, which is what I seem to see inthe picture, except it is being worn on the outside. An exposed trigger guard means a Tom Threepersons holster or equivalent, which I also favor. Everyone should, in my view, use what he can access with confidence. I seem to remember some of those old photos of Bill The Kid. His revolver position looked kind of funky to me, but, given the oportunity, I'd have passed on trying to reach over to take it away from him.

Looks like a Bianchi. Namely that it may be a nod to Silence of the Lambs in which Clarice Starling has a similar weapon, and it also may have been a decision by Mathew Gray Gubler to choose a weapon that he felt better suited his character's tastes, which he also uses on his personal life.
My personal thoughts were along the same lines. The best I can do is speculate but based on what I know about the character and his history is that he was at first uncomfortable carrying a service weapon and there was a story arc dealing with him becoming comfortable with his weapon and being confident in using it when needed.
Based on this I would say that the revolver was likely a weapon that he ultimately became most comfortable with. They are more reliable and require better precision due to the limited amount of ammo they can hold.
When Reid carried the semi-automatic in its ridiculous position, an unsub told him someone would take it away from him. Maybe that little gem stayed in the character's mind, and he made a wise switch. He does look a little like Wyatt Earp now with the revolver.
It could be a number of things. I am a 5'2 stout female with small but square hands. I don't have willowy fingers and narrow hands as with most women. Though my weight is adequate to hand a. Reid has long hands and long fingers. Maybe he needed a gun with grip that he could hold onto but was still powerful. As for myself, I was great at archery as a kid so I will be sticking to a Mongolian Horse Bow and my trusty fireplace poker.
I'm a firearms instructor with some law enforcement experience and keep track of what the typical duty weapons are for major LEAs law enforcement agencies. I don't believe the FBI has a grandfather clause for approved firearms.
Once the FBI changes approved firearms, agents are required to turn in their service sidearm for the new approved service sidearm. The fact that Gideon, Reid and Rossi are allowed to carry something other than a Glock in. On the alleged competition shooter who stated revolvers are reliable. All you have to do is to bend the crane or extractor rod and the revolver will not function and will require a gunsmith to repair. If the cylinder ceases to rotate on a revolver for any reason, it will no longer function.
A tactic to disarm someone with a revolver before the hammer is cocked and the cylinder has rotated is to grab the cylinder. It does not take much grip strength to disable someone with a revolver by grabbing the cylinder before the cylinder has rotated to fire the next chambered round in the cylinder. The advantage the revolver has over semi-auto pistol is that an experienced shooter such as Jerry Miculek can empty a revolver cylinder faster than someone can empty the magazine of a semi-auto pistol.
I think everyone is missing the most obvious reason
