My department went to a uniform issue for all officers in 2006. The pistol chosen was Glock. Officers can choose either the Glock 21 (45 ACP) or the Glock 19 (9mm). I picked the Glock 19. I don't have large hands and I simply don't like the feel of the Glock 21. It was like holding a piece of wood. In the ten years since we went to Glock the company redesigned the grip of the Glock 21, but I'm still carrying the 19. I like the pistol. It's accurate and reliable and easy to maintain. Also I own several 45 ACP pistols, but I like the 9mm. I'm accurate with it and it's easy to shoot. My department issues the Federal HST round. 9mm 124 gr +P JHP and the 45 ACP 230 gr +P JHP. We've had a couple officer involved shooting in the ten years since we went to Glock and the officers who had to shoot are still here. What more can I say.

Also the transition training for the officers was very easy. The Glock is an easy pistol to teach people. We've had no AD's since we went to Glock.
