I work part-time for 3 depts. and all issue Glocks. One issues the 21, one the 21SF and the third issues the Glock 23. The dept that issues the 23 does not mandate it for carry so I keep it in my warbag and carry either my Remington R1 or my 6in. Python or a S&W Model 14 6in. or 19 4in. depending on my mood. I have also carried a S&W 5906, Colt Trooper,and a Browning Hi-Power with that dept. An old Colt 1903 serves as my BUG.
Only one dept. issues body armor and I have to provide my own for the other two. One dept. has a sweet little 10.5 inch AR for the patrol rifle but allows a personally owned Mini-14 or AR or shotgun if you wish. One has the S&W M&P 15 as a patrol rifle or WIn. 1300 or Rem 870 at your discretion and the other just uses the 870.
