I don't believe I saw my wife's agency. Toledo, Oh, city police. She was issued a 40 cal Sig 226. She says they do allow the smaller Sigs now, but she doesn't know the model numbers. TPD moved up from the 9mm Sig 226s a few years ago.

So many agencies with the 40 slow and weak, I cant expain why but I have no use for this caliber, if you want a 40 caliber auto tham why oh why dont you use a 10mm. Just color me a 40 hater

My pd allows a wide range of calibers and guns, but we buy our own.

40 slow and weak,.

using what metric?

The 180 grainer are as fast as or faster than 147 gr. 9mm and hit as hard as or harder than 230 gr. .45 ACP

Why not just go the Dirty Harry route and issue .44 Magnums to everyone?

Snort. While I firmly believe that the .40 is a solution in search of a problem, I somehow can't imagine we have the same view of the cartridge. I am firmly of the opinion that it's far overpowered for 99% of what it's called on to do. I believe that a .38 Special +P or 9mm +P will do as well if not better, IMHO, than the .40 S&W almost every time. You seem to thing that it's not strong enough? Considering the 125gr .357 Magnum problem, may I enquire what you think is an appropriate chambering?

 

[ahpd1992]

well now that you mention it, I believe the 125gr 357 magnum is about perfect. I carry a glock 35 converted to 357sig.

The US Federal Air Marshal Service signed a multi-million dollar contract for procurement of the SIG Sauer P250 Compact chambered for the .357 SIG cartridge in 2009.[14]

That contract was cancelled... Marshals have the choice of the 229 or the 239 for duty carry. Both are DA/SA in 357 sig.




Nassau County PD (NY) just switched over to the 229DAK and the 226DAK (officers choice) in 40. for the past 15 or 20 years they carried the 226 DAO in 9mm.
