	I was talking baout firefights, only thing to do with a gun besides
train with it.  In my experience, no amount of training can equal a
"natural" fit.

	A mid 80s mustang and a 2000 Camaro are quite a differnce, and as far
as In kknow, they do in-house repair and maintence.  
	And while there is no way I will argue that having an exclusive
specialty is bad, but I would hope that a FBI gunsmith could handle
knowing how to strip and repair two or three types of firearm.  Striping
and repair is much easier to learn and implement, compared to drawing
and placing your first shot in center-mass under stressful situations.
	In short, let's agree that we disagree=)
