There is an ongoing argument on other gun forums that it was a Glock 17 but nobody can agree what capacity mags he had. Large capacity and only shooting 10 or 10 capacity mag shooting till slide lock? Apparently no one knows for sure.

 

Why doesn’t someone call the PD and ask for them to release a pic of his gun?

oh, because we couldn’t have endless fantasy threads about it.

anyone wonder what underwear he wore too?

 

There's no reason for them to do that.

 

I heard a Glock 26, 19, 17, 43x ….who knows until it is released by the powers that be.

 

I have only heard a G19. Main issue, everyone is going to think they can do the same at 40yds now.
That worries me.

 

everyone should be able to do it at 40 yards with ease I did it at 70 yards in the pitch dark with wml and red dot. That’s why i preach red dots are the way to go

 

I’m more curious to know the ammo used

 

I heard wooden bullets laced wuth Garlic, Good for Vampires and Warewolves.

 

I heard it was a Glock 7, you know, the one that can get through metal detectors.

 

More importantly, did it blew up the lungs?

 

Does it really matter?

 

No.
But I’d like to learn something about the guy who taught him to shoot-that would be grandpa.

 

He used a shield with tact light called "The Dangler" no wait i am packin that one. It was a gen 3 19

 

Here's a definitive answer for you:
Have the respect and courtesy to at least get the name correct for your fantasy thread.
His name is Eli Dicken.

 

The dickens, you say.

 

Just wait until he publishes a book on the incident. You know, the book of Eli.

We need to know the model Glock, exact type of ammunition, and lubricant used.

Start the FOIA requests.

 

No one here is gonna be able to be Eli! I mean, he did 1500 presentations from holster a day to prep for that day! Most here, their arms would turn to jello at about 150

 

I'm curious where the 8 hits on the shooter were but I don't think the full autopsy report was released.

 

 

Given that there will not be any court action related to this case, there's no reason any information about the gun or ammo would come out through LE or judicial / legal sources (ie it being brought up in court.) The only way we'll ever know is if Dickens discusses it himself.

 

My friend's former neighbor who knows a guy who is second cousin to another guy who knew a guy in grade school who was born in Indianapolis so he is an Eli Expert says it was a Yeet Cannon.

 

And that's a fact!!

 

It doesn't matter what gear Mr Dicken used, if anyone else owning/using it doesn't have a similar skillset and presence of mind to be able to use it as effectively under similar circumstances.


Don't get distracted by the finger pointing at the moon ...

 

I am hoping the next one would use a revolver. Just so I can have confidence again with carrying my revolvers and put the wheelies back in CCW fashion..

 

My guess is if he had a .25 or a J-Frame he would of used what he had. The reports about him shooting, moving, all while evacuating people suggest to me that he was in the fight and not just a shooter. The 80% hit rate at 40 yards has us ready to write him love letters. He is a hero but just as important are the things he did while engaging in the fight. I admire him and hope he can move on with his life as just a regular guy after this. Should any of us be faced with a similar fate may we perform as confidently and heroically as this man did. Have a good day.

 

the average shooter would have a hard time hitting a moving target at 40 yards who by the way is returning fire in a building with many other people also moving around.
It's not the same thing as the "stress" of competition or banging shots at a target at your friendly gun range.
And as John Wayne said its not just being fast.
Its being willing.
No amount of "range" time is going to determine if you are willing.

 

I heard it was a 9mm Glock G17. A good choice in my opinion.

 

What does it matter which weapon he used?

Why do people obsess over what others carry; SEAL's, Force Recon, USMC, JTTF, CIA, NSA, and any other alphabet soup group are not YOU. What matters is what weapon do YOU shoot best. Instead of investing in blasters used by others. Find your best pistol and train with it diligently. Keep beating your last best score every time you go to the range. That's the way to improve.

 

What does it matter which weapon he used?

I don't think it matters... I think firearms enthusiasts such as folks on this board are just curious.

 

If it was a 19 or a 17, I'm curious why he was using 10-round magazines (some reports indicated he fired 10 rounds after which time the slide locked back).

 

So? A stock G26 then

 

Fully semi auto Glock 44

 

Maybe it was a G18 and his grandfather, who may have been awarded a MOH as a machine gunner in Nam, may have taught him trigger control. Maybe not. Maybe it was a G34, cuz Eli looks like a big guy and he could totally pull it off AIWB. Maybe not. Maybe I will just wait until Eli or LE tells. The reality is the gun was a tool and Eli was the weapon.

If there were a Hall of Fame for good/insightful comments yours would have to be in the top five easily. If you read my posts (assuming you have that much time to spare) they go on forevever. There is nothing left to add to your post Sir.

 

WHO CARES.....IT'S OVER....!

 

JUST for all the haters. It was a Glock 23 because he liked it and shot it well..............

I dont care if it was 17L with a Deltapoint PRO. He shot with incredible accuracy at the critical moment.

He should be awarded free gas and ammo for life.

 

SHE explained it all to me today Miko said. now follow it closely its family{Glock} friendly... it was this.....
