I’m not sure if this has been done already, but post up the weapons you have carried on duty during your career. After 30 years in service, I have carried quite a few. Here they are in order of when I carried them:
Sidearm: HKP7M13 SigSauer 226 Glock 23 (back up) Glock 27 Beretta 96D HKUSPc SigSauer229 Glock 19 Glock 26 Glock 17 Glock 43 (back up) SigSauer P320 Long Arms: Remington 870 Remington 870 (14” scattergun tech) HK MP5 Steyr AUG Colt M4 (11.5” bbl) My favorite sidearm to carry was the Glock 19. It is my current duty sidearm. Some of these have been personally owned which I have been giving to my kids when they are old enough. Something to remember their old man by. |

My current agency has largely downsized to only 9 mm and only a couple of options available but we used to have 20+ models and makes that we were authorized to carry if you purchased them yourself. I’m sure I left a few off the list as I’m just going by a quick memory dump for this post. These days it’s Glock 19 or 17. I didn’t include the 25 caliber Beretta pocket pistols that I used to carry as a back up. For long guns: Benelli super 90, Remington, 870, colt M-16 A1 and A2, M4 (actual full auto), LWRCM6A2 |

Was in engineers so we mostly threw rocks.
Oh, you mean the 22 pistol I carried on the side that no one knew about. |
|
|
G17, G22, G21, then switched to Sig 226 and now 320 since we have to carry 9mm.
As far as rifles goes, mini 14, SBR’d homebuild, now a Troy that our dept did as a group buy. Have a Tavor Im very tempted to qual with, but Im leery on learning a new manual of arms. |

Colt Combat Commander .45 acp. S&W M29 4". S&W M686 4". The few times I had a "long gun" with me it was either an old M97 (so I could break it down, tie a short cord to the halves and drape it over my shoulder under a rain coat to make it easy to carry into a place I wasn't supposed to take it. Easy to put back together and load with 00 buck once I was inside the stairwell. Couple of road block warnings (you might get a call for back up, etc.) I'd grab the M1A and a few magazines of FMJ. No one was going to hide behind a car/van on me. |
