I would suggest that you start asking the officers. Of course, they will tell you that Glock is a good gun that goes bang every time you pull the trigger, and that it is very low maintenance. But, when i changed to a department that let me carry what I wanted (no revolvers or single action semi's) I chose Glock because they have a very good LEO purchase program. I can buy a new Glock 22 for about $400 under their LEO program, and the next best factory discount is Sig, who gives about $50 off the price of the pistol. For me, it really was the price that was the deciding factor.lawrnk wrote:I gotta say there must be a reason that 99% of guns I see on the hip of a LEO is a glock. Just my observation, and there has got to be a bigger reason than cost, since many cops buy the gun, rather than the PD. I believe the FBI uses the 22 and 23.
Fortunately, this department lets me carry single action semi's, so I am back to a 1911. And explaining the purchase of a new duty gun to my wife, when I had a perfectly good Glock was not easy. Now, I have to explain why I am buying an AR for work when she knows I prefer wood rifles in calibers that begin with 7.62
