The future is pretty cool, but also strange:

They were testing some Amazon related drone stuff up in British Columbia in the summer.  Apparently the drone rules aren’t as strict as they are in the US.

There are obviously a load of issues with drone delivery, which you can probably imagine yourself.  One of the most interesting issues I think is the fact that if (when) something such as drone delivery is made legal, Amazon likely won’t be the only company doing it so there will be hundreds or thousands of drones buzzing through the air at any given time in a busy area.  That would be not only annoying, but also potentially dangerous if it had issues and crashed.  Yea I know that’s not happening daily now with airplanes, but I just can’t see the same type of strict air traffic control working when dealing with the drone business model.

You can currently order most of my products off Amazon (see the links on each page).  You’re not going to be getting the 20% off though if you spend over $40.

Jeremy Clarkson apparently is going to be doing a new car related series for Amazon Prime (along with James May and Richard Hammond).  Sounds potentially awesome.

Thoughts?

Police bodyguards protecting the Royals and the Prime Minister are being armed with ‘baby’ guns in a bid to recruit more women officers to the role.

Often seen as a ‘girl’ gun in the hands of female detectives in TV programmes like CSI Miami and Criminal Minds, the Baby Glock is smaller, lighter and easier to use for those with smaller hands.

Full Story – HERE

If you can’t shoot a Glock 17, you aren’t going to be able to shoot a Glock 26.  Giving the women the option of the G26 as their primary gun is a mistake if you ask me. The G26 is approximately 1.25″ shorter in height, which make make it a bit easier for some of them to hold, but the barrel length is around 1″ shorter on the G26 which isn’t a great when accuracy is paramount.  I’d much rather see them train on both guns, and have the G26 as a backup. Another big downside is the fact that the standard capacity of the G26 is only 10 rounds, compared to 17 rounds for the G17.

From my personal experience, the G26 is much more susceptible to malfunctions; especially when it comes to limp wristing my full size Glocks are a lot more forgiving. Anyone else find this as well?

Finally, I could be wrong, but I doubt there are too many women out there that are thinking to themselves “I’d love to be a police officer… if only the guns held less ammo, and were a bit shorter for my little hands”
