Going to school this August for Police Science then straight to certification then an Academy. Need some suggestions and insight on what caliber/make of a handgun a police officer would be honored to carry. Cost means nothing as I've been fortunate enough to save enough money for college and so on. I want the best.

To narrow it down...

I'd prefer a .40 or .45 but if someone can convince me that 9MM is more ideal, be my guest.

I've done some research but I'm sure I haven't even scratched the surface and would just like to hear other's opinions.
