Carrying either my work gun (G19) or a P365 Xmacro. I also carry Microtechs.
Or just carry a 1911 TRP and be done?
Thanks in advance!

I've read this thread several times but don't feel qualified to post anything substantive due to your LEO status. I believe there are some exemptions on some things for LEO but cannot state what they are/aren't.
Are LEO's from another State allowed to carry concealed? Be careful on this one, despite your LEO status. Certainly CA does not have any reciprocity for non-LEOs.
"Wierd gun laws" might be a prohibition against tracer ammo (fire hazard) and armor piercing ammo (protect LEO's in vests).
The thing to do is to
read the laws at DOJ.CA.GOV. Do a word search for LEO, police, exempt, etc.
My personal recommendation about the firearm - just bring a 1911 and some 8 round mags, then you will be good to go.
