Why let the AR forum have all the fun? Let us see what you carry on duty. Duty rifles, SWAT rifles, whatever you carry in the car with you all day.

The please tell us:

1) What works for you
2) What doesn't work for you
3) What your "perfect" duty rifle would be

This need not just be AR-15 style rifles. If you work with it, we want to see it.


Thanks!

I'll get the pics up when I get back to work tomorrow (Training out of state, now).

But, I run a SOCOM II, no optic, yet, I really like the tritium front sight on it.  Blackhawk sling, light, soft case, and Federal 168 grain, Sierra Match.
As soon as I can beg, borrow, steal some AR's, my troops will be running AR's or they can purchase their own AR, DSA (FAL-type rifle), or M1A.

Bushmaster "Patrolman's Carbine"


This is a picture of when I first bought it.  I will take a picture of it at work tonight.  

ETA:

Pic in the PD Car (as carried at the moment)
    (added a Vortex... has the ASP/TAG one-point sling, buttstock extra mag pouch, and new grip - to store small items in)



I am currently trying to figure out a flashlight "rig" for mine.  Deployed my rifle first time two days ago on a possible armed subject and realized flashlight MUCH needed.  Have pretty much decided on the Pentagon X3-HA, just not sure of the mounting system.  Probably wind up getting a MI #17 2-piece forearm rail.  

I have an Aimpoint, but have not trained with it yet, and need to buy a B.U.I.S. for it.

Other than flashlight, B.U.I.S. - I think I would be gtg.  Well, besides some type of bandoleer or such to house several mags to sling over my shoulder to carry with me (The call I had the other night was a mile off the road and away from the PD car - I had 20-rounder in the rifle, and 20-rounder attached to stock).

I am really interested in seeing LEO rifle set-ups!

Stay Safe!

My bangstick.

Bushmaster Patrolmans Carbine.

Took me several years to get it just right.

The EoTech is sitting on a Larue mount now.

Colt 6520





No optics were allowed when I bought it, so I went with the A2 upper.  They've since OK'd Aimpoints and EOTechs as long as they co-witness, but I think I'm going to leave it alone.  We're only allowed 20 rd mags and weapon mounted lights are a strict no-no unless you're one of god's chosen children on the ERU team.  The sling is a basic 3pt CQB Solutions/Spectre Gear model, and the magpul makes digging 20 rd'ers out of a 30rd mag pouch a snap.

It got me through my dept's week long rifle school without even a hint of a malf, and does everything I want in one light and handy package.

Actually, the idea of rifles is somewhat new in our Department.  Good thing is that when our other Chief took off, he was replaced by one that came from a big agency and has implemented several benefitting items/upgrades.  IMHO tho, along with purchasing rifles for the Department, he also allows you to buy your own (or carry your own if you already have one).  Opens up the options.  It is a tool, that may never be used... but I would like for it to be there in the event that it ever needs to be.

Our PD issues a Colt AR15A3 to every officer.  I put on a different grip, sight, and light. (Eotech and Surefire) - reasons are obvious.  I like the EO better'n the Aimpoint.  BH55gr sp issed duty ammo.  Have been in 1 shooting w/this combo - worked just fine.  


I also have qualled on the sniper course with this Rem 700.  She's a shooter.


Our PD is great about providing officers w/ needed equipment.

On a teeny side note... is that a TD grip on your AR and if so, how you like that?  Was thinking of upgrading to that...

Our plain jane Colt.  Tryin to talk "The Man" into trading for Bushy or RRA.  He almost canned the whole Patrol Rifle program...the only reason he didn't is because it would have cost to much to buy shottys.

My chief () wouldn't allow us to carry patrol rifles for a long time.  With more SHTF calls occurring in the last few years, he's finally getting into the 21st Centuty.  

The department bought one Colt M4 and issued it to the Captain.  He doesn't work the road or nights.    We have to supple our own patrol carbine and take the training on our off time.  At least he supplies the ammo for the class.  He bought XM855 and the instructors don't allow it on the range.  The class supplies XM193 and the department pays for it.  


Now I have to get into a class, on my off time.

It sure is good to see working rifles.  I am tired of all the "look how pretty my rifle is" pictures.  Mine is so scratched up and worn from being taken in and out of a patrol car on a daily basis.  My rifle knows where home is, in the mount next to my right shoulder, ready when I need it.  Not in a box in the closet.

It is surely nice to see a MAD backup sight mounted. I use the same exact set-up as you with the only difference is the Stock. Mine is the Colt M4 stock. It is also a pleasure to see a rifle that is working in the field with a few bumps and scratch. Tell tale signs of a working rifle.
