25+ years ago, after 10 to 12 hrs on shift , my back would kill me from the weight of a K frame 357, 2 pairs of handcuffs, 24 rounds of ammo, etc, etc. I would have loved to reduce the weight with a polymer auto like a Glock or Sig, or even a Ruger like the P95 I have now. My P95 is a "house" gun, so the rail works ok for my light/laser. If I were still a street cop, I would not like the rail , I think it might be hard to find and use a holster with a light/laser like I have now. I think I would prefer a Crimson Trace laser grip set, which are not available for poly pistols? My ccw gun is a K/T PF9, which I bought because of the size and for the rail, even though the C/T laser doesn't require the rail. I like having options...
