Taurus G3?
Surprisingly good gun for the money. The second strike (semi double action) feature is great for dry fire training with a laser cartridge.
Yeah I bought a holster that’s attached to my seat. Very easy to get to, sturdy, barrel pointed to the ground, and too close to me for anyone to reach over and grab due to my reaction time. Here’s the link for those interested.

I disagree with plenty of legally justified things. I think he did his best option at the time. I'd prefer cops be given bite sleeves and be trained how to deal with family dogs without lethality.
Its much more of an issue of options and training than this individual person. As the recorded amounts of dog shootings would prove.
Sounds more like a lack of proper options (and training to enact those options) than anything the cop did wrong. I don't care what anyone says, nobody has to bitten by a dog. People die to dogs.
It sounds like cops should have an option that doesn't include close quarter shooting or being bit.
Wanna know how simple that option can be?
A cop should be able to handle a dog without a gun. I've always thought this. Sure, some dogs need to be shot. Simple as that. But family dogs don't understand the concept of police. They understand the concept of packs and territory.
But like I said, he made a decision in seconds. Count the time between him commenting on the dog and the dog running up on him. If there were other options, he might have had been able to quickly choose those. When its between being bitten or doing what you're literally trained to do, I'm gonna go ahead and guess training will win every time.
Why does it matter?
Do tell you can tell this from an actual pistol. If you can we need to put you front and center to de-escalate these situations.
Which would would you prefer I read?
There was literally no way to work it out. The dude had a BB gun that looks exactly like a normal handgun. How do you expect them to identify it in the split second it would take him to pull it?
I can't remember where I heard it, but, supposedly, it's about 2-3% of soldiers do all the killing in an infantry battle. The rest reload a lot, evacuate the wounded, run for supplies or just fire randomly towards the enemy's general direction.
