Right now I'm really into my XD-40 service model V-10. When I get out of the academy I hope I'd allowed to use it as a duty weapon. Im really into it right now because Ive had it less then a week.

New rollmark Colt 1991A1 Commander, customized with good stuff by one of the top smiths.
I wouldn't want to be cop even for that though. |

I carry a Kimber TLE/RL II with internal extractor. I also have a Kimber Ultra CDP II for off duty.
My order: 1911 Sig Glock (if money is truly an issue then you can switch Sig and Glock around). My choice is for my personal preference for fit in hand first and then type of action. Mike |

Why not? If people are going to pick a 1911, why not a USP compact? |

I was LEO for eight years. The first three I carried a Beretta 92fs. I thought it was superior to any other design. I would make jokes about plastic guns.
In 1999 I got a glock 22 by accident. a guy owed me cash, so he gave me the gun in exchange. It was brand new, he only put one box of ammo thru it. First time at the range I shot distinguished expert on qualification day. also, it felt damn comfy in my medium sized hands. I switched weapons and have never looked back. I love my Beretta and still have it, but glock is what I choose as my first line of personal protection. |

1911.
After that, I'd go for the H&K USP, though I'd be undecided between the .40 and .45. Proabbly still the .45. |

I carried a 92FS from the academy on through my SWAT training.Issue weapon was a Glock 21 which I liked o.k....but preferred the 92FS enough to buy my own weapon and holster for my service weapon,and still do prefer it.
Bought my 92FS in 1990 before entering the academy and its still with me today...running like a champ.Probably the most dependable weapon I have owned in my life. If I go back into LEO,which I plan to do very soon,I will carry the 92FS again if I have that choice. |

I'm issued and carry a Glock 22 on duty and feel very confident in it. I would carry a 1911 if it was allowed. Either way I don't feel outgunned. I do carry my 1911 off duty.

A cop is more likely to be involved in an extended firefight than the average citizen. That being said, there is no way I would carry a 8 or 9 round gun if I was a cop.

Statistically your wrong, most shootings only fire 4 to 6 rounds, there are however those exceptions. I know of one cop in a neighboring agency that has been involved in two shootings, both times he came out on top, and has a Sig 220, rounds fired in each incident 4. It all goes back to training, and round placement (which is easier said than done). |

some good points about the number of rounds needed. Food for thought.

Its the whole 4 to 6 rule: 4 to 6 rounds, 4 to 6 feet, 4 to 6 seconds And statistically the gun fight is over What gets cops into trouble is based off an FBI study on what reasons cops get killed in a gun fight, #2 is the lack of cover and #1 is not realizing they are in a gun fight (i.e. walk into a situation they are not aware of). |

HK , more versatility in the DA, SA , safety design. Only slight drawback is the non standard rail. Also , the USP seems to tame recoil nicely.

I was taught: 3 shots 3 seconds 3 feet However, I believe those stats need to be updated. They are based on a lot of agencies stats dating back to when revolvers were the primary weapon. We have had several shootings w/ 10+ rounds being fired recently. Bad guys are getting smarter and using cover more and more. It seems like one of two things will happen: #1 The close-in, quick, 3-shot scenario #2 A moving firefight where cover is used, and several shots are fired. #2 is becoming more and more prevalant. I'll take a Glock in .40 or .357sig. |

Even though I was a dumbass and traded it off for a SIG 228 3 weeks ago, I say the Glock 19 is the perfect duty weapon

As a firearms instructor, I would concur with gcpd19. When I carried a S&W 4506, I carried 4 spare mags in a Don Hume pouch. I pistol allows me to fight back to the rifle or shotgun I should have had in the first place, if it goes that long. I would rather have the officers I train carry what they are most confident with, rather than just what they are given. Fast accurate shot placement is the key to winning a gunfight with a pistol, or with any small arm for that matter. The shooting I was involved in was over in 1 round. If I'm ever in another, it might be 30 rounds. I won't know until it's over. |

I am.
I do carry a 1911. Why? Because I can. Department issues Glocks but you can carry a personally owned firearm pending approval from the boss. We have officers carrying a S&W 4566, Springfield XD-9, Sig P220ST, Sig P225, Beretta 9000s, and a Springfield XD-40 Subcompact. Why? Because we can. That and hand size and shape. One of my officers had problems with the Glock, tried an XD, he purchased it and his scores improved immediately by approximately 20%. The P225, 9000s and the XD-40 Sub are carried by plainclothes officers. I prefer a progressive department that allows choices. I understand the logistical nightmare of different firearms for large departments, but not everyone fits the firearm issued. Jonathan |
