LEOs, which sidearm does your dept. issue?
Along the lines of the issued ammo question, which pistol does your dept. issue?
Are you allowed to carry anything other than dept. issue, and if so, what do you carry?

Don't mean to horn in. Where I live, 07676, issued is .40 S&W. They liked the previous 9mm better.

The dept. issues G-23s. I carry my own G-22. However we can carry whatever we wish as long as it's .40 S&W.

Glock 17 or 22, Officer's choice. However, we can carry anything we want that our Range Officer approves (any quality firearm of a substantial caliber.)
I carry a Glock 21. Remington 870s ride in our squads, and each officer is issued a Ruger Mini-14. Individually owned rifles are allowed, but must be approved by the Range Officer. 5.56NATO, 30-30 and 7.62X39 are allowed (in addition to pistol calibers.) |

Sig P220
Dept issues Sig P220 to patrol...Thank God
Admin & chief gets SIG compact .40's, I forget which model #. You can carry your personal if it's approved, no single action unfortunately. Moss 500's up front and approved rifle in the rear, normally AR variant or some MAK 90's.

For plain clothes/covert then authorization has to be given to carry something different than issued. Authorized off duty/covert/second guns have to be .380 or larger, at least 5 shot, qualify once a year, HP ammo only, and be approved by the range officer and district commander. |

Sig Sauer P229 - .357. No reported quality issues, everyone loves them (everyone b*tched about the previous S&W 1046's). I am completely confident that it is going to work if I need it, can't say that about the S&W's.

The only thing my dept. issues is AR-15's. I also have a issued Rem LTR in 308. Duty pistol is a G-35. Our Chief has a 35 too with Glock 17's and 22's being the rest with 1 HK USP in .40. We can carry a .45 ACP, .40 or 9mm in anything that the Chief and I agree is OK. I carried a 1911 before I discovered the 35.

Nothing issue. You must provide your weapons and it must be on the approved list. That list includes 1911's.
