Louisiana State Police swapped all their Glocks for Sigs several years ago. Trooper complaints ranged from elated to exasperated. The Troopers who didn't like the Sig complained of excessive rusting in the humid Louisiana climate. I'm not sure what they're carrying right now simply because I no longer care. Generally, when an agency swaps handguns, or shotguns, or rifles, there is more to the decision than simple utility. The beancounters get involved and some companies will offer steep discounts if the agency buys several hundred handguns. Many police administrators see handguns as simple bullet-launchers, and most cops aren't gun-nuts as we are.

Never forget, in police work as in the military, that your primary weapon was produced by the lowest bidder.
