So I started the academy June 5th. We got our manuals, books, etc, and we found out the dept will purchase Glock 17s for us at a great deal ($445 w/night sights/3mags).
The dept policy is 9mm or 45acp H&K, S&W, Sig, or Glock. If we want to use Glock 45 we have to replace the factory barrel with a Wilson or other approved barrel (I don't yet know which others are approved).
Have any of you LEOs had this issue with your department?
I'm bummed....I was going to add a G21sf to my "collection", I now have to consider the $$$ of the barrel purchase/fitting and compare that to getting a new HK USP since I've had one of those for 10 years and feel comfortable with it (carried G30 concealed last 3 years).
Either way, I'm getting the G17 to add to the collection :smile:
BUG policy is no bigger than .38 or 9mm, 3 1/2" barrel max, so I'm going to get another G26 with night sights (wife wouldn't take too kindly if I took hers for my backup lol)
