Common in my city and surrounding departments. They have relaxed the mandatory issued carry gun because it has been proven officers that carry their approved and preferred side arm shoot them better qualifying. Its a win win situation because they get officers that practice more and shoot better on duty.
Most of my buddies that are on the force and SWAT detest having to use their issued Glocks from years back. Most have purchased their own duty gun and leave their Glock at the armory. SWAT has totally went to Kimber 1911's and it is permeating out to patrol officers. Only the newbies are carrying Glocks anymore. Sig Sauers, FN, and 1911's are the more popular carry arms. There is also a PPQ movement going on as well.
