Officer's choice between:

Glock 22/23, Sig Sauer P226R, Springfield XD40, H & K USP 40
All supplied with M3 light

All .40 caliber

Issued with Federal 180 gr. HST

We offer the choice in gun because I have a long held belief that people should be allowed to carry (within reason) a gun that they are comfortable with and confident in.

I'm surprised to hear about the amount of Hydrashocks being issued. I'm glad to hear it because I think they're underrated,... I'm just surprised.
A lot of Chicago LEO's I know swear by them, especially for very heavy Winter clothing...

The PD I work for allows it's officers a choice in what they want to carry.

Of our choice the PD will issue the following pistols as a duty sidearm.

GLOCK 17
GLOCK 19
GLOCK 21
GLOCK 22
GLOCK 23

All department issue ammo is LEO Only Winchester Ranger SXT

I carry a GLOCK 22 with Winchester Ranger SXT JHP 165Gr .40 S&W

Personal Remington 870 Express Magnum with Winchester Ranger Low Recoil LEO Only 00Buck

Back up is a S&W 642 .38 Special Federal 125Gr Nyclad JHP

We just got approved to carry rifles... PD is still trying to figure out what it will be. Spoke with some Command Staff and they said that my rifle will be okay with the current load I keep in it.

Federal 165 grain. Forget the exact name. It's the stuff that has the soft plastic under the tip so it expands like a hydro shock but feeds like ball ammo. We've dug em outa deer, the stuff actually works.
