^I work Security on an Auxilary Air Force Base in southern Arizona. It's all contracted civilians, and the company that owns the contract is too cheap to give us good equipment or good firearms. Even our AR's are cheap...

Not that the Taurus is completely terrible, but we're supposed to carry Beretta M9s and they opted for the Taurus PT92 just for a cheaper way out. This is why I bought my own duty gear and holster, and handcuffs, and flashlight...etc. Because the crap that they issue is GARBAGE!

My old holster that they issued was a cheap nylon $10-$15 universal POS. ...it began falling apart on me, and I definately wouldnt trust my life to it.

Dont worry, I wont be there too long. Its definately a stepping stone or a job for retirees, not a career. The only fun part about it is we patrol the desert and we get to catch UDA's once in a while.
