Posted over 4 years ago The MPD and MCSO are allowed to carry either a .40 or .45 caliber on duty. Others must be approved by the back office I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through I've never been perfect, but neither have you So if you're asking me, I want you to know When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory |

| Posted over 4 years ago .45 ACP. When I was working we carried .38 S&W wheel guns that were very under powered. I now carry a Taurus 24/7 Pro DS that carries 12+1 and the ammo is .45 jacketed hollow-point Hydro-Shock. It will stop the attacker no matter who or what it might be. |

| Posted over 4 years ago We carry the glock 21 on duty. and the rest of the agencies in the county have followed our lead as this was a good move. The best part is if there ever was a incident were multiple agencies were there all our clips will interchange which I thought was a great tactical move. For Off Duty I like to carry my full size Kimber /Custom II this is a super weapon and the best shooting gun I have ever had. |

| Posted over 4 years ago Our county officers are now carring .357 Sig. From what I've witnessed it's a pretty hot load. |

my personal thought is the bigger the better...as long as the officer can control his/her weapon I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through I've never been perfect, but neither have you So if you're asking me, I want you to know When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory |

| Posted over 4 years ago My department carries the Sig P229R DAK in .40 cal. It's a nice gun, but I've always been partial to the .45 ACP. PL Mentoring Team Member Conduct every traffic stop extending the olive branch of peace; while having a tactical plan to kill everyone inside the vehicle.

I hope those are not actual Black Talons. They have to be pretty old by now. If they are acquire some Ranger Talons. They are basically the same thing but are more lawyer resistant. I am issued a 40. I usually carry a 45 auto, but occasionally carry a compact/sub-compact 9mm You have the rest of your life to solve the problem, how long your life lasts depends on how well you do it. -Clint Smith

Why would you carry a .38 but practice with a 9mm? I carry a 9mm in the Marines, but my personal handguns are .40 S&W. An H&K P2000, and a Glock 22. Soon to add a Glock 23 and a USP Tactical. If guns cause crime, pencils cause misspelled words!

| Posted about 4 years ago I always carried a 1911 type 45, with a 38 snubber in my ankle holster. At DOC we carry Glock 19's, 9mm for transports. I usually trade out the 10 mag for a 15 that I have in my car! (Don't tell) |

LOL - My department lets us carry what we want, within certain parameters. Unfortunately, Desert Eagle .50 is juuuust outside those parameters... .357 sig for me. كافر (Kāfir "Infidel" ) IGITVR•QVI•DESIDERAT•PACEM•PRÆPARET•BELLVM

| Posted about 4 years ago My department issus the .40 Cal Sig but I went with the .45 Cal glock 21. There have been many studies from the 9mm to the .45 Cal and I have heard of cases were each round has worked perfect and times that each round has failed. The main thing to remember it to have the never die mindset and be ready with the weapon that we have. This means the one that is the best fit for you, not just the weapon that someone else says is the best. |

| Posted about 4 years ago While I carry a .40 for duty I have a .45 Colt as a back up and my choice of .380, .38. or 357 for the home. I don't like to ground myself to one caliber when 5 is so much better. If you can put some ice in a glass of bourbon I can drink it. If you can't I can still drink it. |

Not entirely true. I was shooting Dad's 357 when it jammed. Actually jammed not a malfunction but a jam. I am not very familiar with wheelguns, but I learned that gap between the barrel and cylinder MUST be within a certain range. Kind of like your car's plugs. Too close and it locks up the cylinder. The gunsmith told me it was fairly common if they are shot a lot the gap just needs to be reset from time to time.
