I had seen low resolution versions of this pic floating around and ignored it as I do many Photoshop jobs there are out there:

But apparently it is the real thing as troll jobs go:

You may now stand up and applaud with vigor.

(Update at the bottom)

No explanation found with the pictures, but illustrative nonetheless.

UPDATE:

J. Kb. posted this picture and made the comment about the officer watching too many old movies.

Chris G. a buddy and fellow IDPA shooter contacted me in Facebook and let me know that the Tea-Cup Grip was army doctrine. It was called the Palm-Supported Grip.

That capture is extracted from the Army manual titled FM3-23-35 COMBAT TRAINING WITH PISTOLS M9 AND M11.

Do notice that the manual was issued in 203 with updates in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2008. According to Chris, the new update no longer carries the Tactical Teacup Grip in its content, but it took them all the way to 2017 to excise it from the pages.

Chris also made the comment that he got in somewhat of a hot water with an NCO because he chided the use of that grip when he saw it being taught.  The NCO came down on him because it was in the manual and that meant it is right. I guess there is the right way and then there is the Army “right” way.

I know that I am considered a bit extreme among some because I keep telling people we are facing an Opposition that has no problem getting us killed. Hell, the nice ones want us interned in concentration camps!

But the combination of an education where everybody winds and you should care more about your feelings than what is right, combined with years of mental infusion where kids are told “It is not your fault” are coming to deadly fruition.

25-year-old Tyler Barriss is a For Hire Swatter. He is the one responsible for placing a fake 911 call to Wichita police that led to the death of an innocent man. Barriss was hired to place the Swatting call because a couple of morons playing Call of Duty online taunted each other and one gave a false address.  But at that address people were living and Andrew Finch was shot to death by the cops.  He was not even a gamer and much less was he involved in that particular and stupid feud.

Tyler Barriss was arrested in Los Angeles where he lives.  But before being arrested, he actually gave an interview by an  online personalityy and he pretty much said he is not responsible and showed and total lack of remorse for his actions:

Ladies and Gents, this is no longer something to be afraid but to be prepared for. As sad and un-christian it may seem, we no longer can afford to give the benefit of the doubt to people we don’t know and sadly we must believe that they have not only the capability but the lack of morals to have you killed.

They are also known as “Merkel’s Legos”.

And the message on the barriers is just perfect.

Yes, I realize putting a werewolf mask on the passenger headrest while my daughter is asleep is a questionable thing to do during a road trip, but, howthehellelse is she supposed to learn about the dangers of lycanthropy?

This guy is my hero… And now you understand why God decided not to bless us with children.

That is one kid who will never sleep in a car ever again.

These couple of pics have been doing the travels around Facebook.

The usual snobbery was to be had: “ZOMG he is Open Carrying a Hi Point! How Crass!” and “By Hercules’ soul! He has a nylon holster! That is so gauche!”

As for the Hi Point, I don’t care much. The idea is to have a Pew Dispenser and if you can only afford that, I am not gonna complain about it.  I am not crazy about the holster, but as long as it is not a paddle and it has some sort of retention device like this one does, you are somewhat OK. So, he is better than the Tactical Fudd that has a worked out SIG in an custom-made alligator paddle holster without anything to secure the gun.

However, the frigging concealed carry badge has to go. You do not need to give a prosecutor any excuse to screw with you in case you actually need to use your firearm in Self-Defense.

“So Mr. Jones has a badge that although it does not show he is a LEO, people may think he is one.  Maybe Mr. Jones secretly thinks himself as a police officer? Maybe his fantasy led him to behave recklessly and put himself in a situation where he eventually killed the victim.”

Don’t give the enemy the nails to seal your casket.
