Currently carry an HK USP .45 and a SW Model 36 as BUG. Colt R6920 (semi auto M4 type carbine w/16" barrel) in squad car.
Just received my Kimber Warrior on Friday. It will be my duty weapon when I've rung it out on the range and qualified with it.
Off duty I carry a Glock 36 and the SW 36 BUG.

I'm a patrol officer in a small rural police department in Northwestern Germany. My issued service weapon which I carry on and off-duty is a HK P2000 V2 in a Safariland SLS holster. We also have access to HK MP5's if we need them.
Before that I was a watch commander in the German Federal Border Police on the German-Polish border. I carried a SIG-Sauer P225 then.
I would prefer to carry a BUG too... but unless you belong to a SWAT-type unit you won't be authorized to do that in my PD.
I also have a privately owned SIG-Sauer P228 which I'm not allowed to carry anywhere... it's just my range/competition gun which I use for service pistol bullseye events and IPSC production class.
Regards,
Trooper

I am currently in law enforcement for an undisclosed Dept. and have been so for the last 3 years or more.
Issued Sig 229 in .40 S&W. Started with Sig 226 in .40 before specializing.
Off duty goes to a Sig 225 in 9mm since it's a nice warm spring coming up.
Occasional carry will be a Sig 228 in 9mm when attending special get togethers and I don't feel like carrying backup mags.
Backup pistol has not yet been determined, though leaning towards a Taurus Ultra Lite 85 in .38 Special.
Also considering for off duty a Springfield XD in 4 inch and POSSIBLY a subcompact in .40. (Off duty carry is not being regulated so single action is good to go, for now.) But the XD's are really just because I think they are cool. I really wish Sig would get off the crapper and get those new Sig Pro's out. (I've been dying to love a polymer for a while.) Glock didn't cut it, the subcompact XD 9mm, though nice, wasn't my cup of tea and in the wrong caliber. Reallly I should have kept it, but we were getting a new boss and he is into DAO stuff and.....well this has nothing to do with the thread. I'll shut up now.

Deputy Sheriff for one of the larger Central Georgia Sheriffs Departments.
Started out in 1992 with a small rural S.O. in Central Georgia, left LE for “other†not-so-related endeavors in 1996, returned to local LE in early 2003 when I went to work for a large PD in the Atlanta Metro Area before landing my current job where I was born and raised and I call home.
We are issued the Glock 22

Usually an M16, which I prefer over the M4.
If I think I need something, I go over to the arms room and check out whatever I need. Qual'd or formerly qual'd on almost everything .50 cal and under.

On duty issue is a Glock 23 .40, off duty/backup is an issued Glock 27. I also have an 870 in the back of my patrol car till I can manage to acquire one of the dept Benelli semi's . Once my partner becomes our rangemaster he's gonna see about getting me qualified on my personally owned AR so I can carry that too. We have 2 MP5's and 2 AR's that senior guys have already snatched up.

Federal LEO, I carry a Glock 19 for duty and I am qualified with Rem. 870 for duty. Used to also carry H&K MP5, came in handy on narcotics busts.
I was also a FI, as a collateral duty, for 13-14 years until I pissed off a boss. I instructed pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun and MP5.
In the past I have carried and qualified for duty with Glock 26, S&W 60, S&W 6906, S&W 66, Colt Border Patrol (yes when I was a BPA), Beretta 92SB and Beretta 92F, Steyr AUG, Ruger Mini 14, and, one or two others, all for duty.
All the best,

Ex-Army officer. Currently an LEO (by Ohio law, Assistant Prosecutors are LEO). We're a "carry what you own" agency, so long as it is .38, .380, 9mm, or the now approved .40. I carry either a Glcok 19 or a Smith 649, depending on weather, manner of dress, and tasks for the day. (The 649 is my trial gun ).
