They are not uncommen in the smaller more rural areas where backup response is not so quick and the officer is on his own. Yet has other things to carry in his trunk than a full SWAT load of gear. For the smaller dept. with a smaller budget the officer can have the same fire as a submachinegun in his std. duty sidearm for the same cost as a std. duty sidearm.

True. The Chief of Police in my town has one. I think it's more of a "because I can" thing than out of any need.
