Hello everyone,
Im new here, Ive been a shooter for over 30 years. I have worked in law enforcement for almost 16 years. Here's my question.....
I currently carry a Glock 22 .40 for a duty weapon, dept issued. My backup is a G27 .40. For obvious reasons I chose the G27 for the interchangable mag's.
I carry the G27 in my vehicle when off duty. I find it hard to conceal if Im not wearing a heavy jacket. Im looking HARD at buying a off duty carry weapon. I have read countless posts here over the past 2 weeks. It seems most are impartial to a .45 of some kind. I have been leaning toward a Colt mustang or a PPK in .380. I also thought of a Beretta tomcat in .32. Im looking for any suggestions or comments good or bad.
I decided to carry full time due to changing people we deal. In this area in the past few years we have seen an explosion of meth users. One of the deputy's from my agency had his residence shot in a drive by shooting not long ago. I have also had a few "uncomfortable" situations arise in public with people I have arrested/dealt with. I dont think things will get better anytime soon. I have always been a firm believer that there was never a need for the average citizen to carry. This mentality has changed. It comes to a time to realize the bad guys already got guns, so should the good guys.
