Montrose County CO SD = Glocks...I can't remember what model and cal., but do know that I'll NEVER own a Glock. Little brother just had his service weapon blow up in his face at the range. Serveral other members of the dept. have had similar experiences with their Glocks.

Did you ever see the video of the guy who shot himself in the foot with a Glock in front of a classroom full of kids. What a moron. It wasn't any fault of the gun, he was just an idiot. I just really don't like the safety integrated into the trigger. Glock always shoot great and never jam but I think an H&K is a much better choice.

I thought it would be a good idea to start a post on what sidearms or other guns are issued to military,law enforcement and Federal agencys.
When choosing a gun you can see what they carry and use it as a reference since they spent a good buck on testing for it.
Syracuse Police - S&W .45 acp model 4546
Onondaga county Sheriff's - Glock model 21 .45 acp
NY State police - Glock 17 9 mm (I heard they are switching to Glock Model 22 .40 Cal)
FBI - Glock Model 22 or 23 .40 cal
US Marshals - Glock model 22 .40 Cal (I have seen them carrying custom 1911's also)
Army - Beretta 92 9 mm
