Let me first start by Glocks are good weapons, I have nothing against them. I dont personally own one but still think they are quality weapons. My question is that everywhere I go 99% of LEO's carry Glocks.
Is there a specific reason why Glocks dominate the LEO world, and why we DONT see any of the other quality weapons? Where are the BHP's, XD's or even just a good solid 1911. Being that a fair number of LEO's are ex-millitary I would expect to see more Beretta's as well.
The only agency that I have been told does not use glocks as their standard at least on Oregon is Milwaukee PD which supposedly issues Kimbers as their duty gun.
Also to those LEO's out there how many of you had to purchase your own firearm and how many were agency provided. I know from LEO's and Ex-Leo's that I have spoken with seems like most of them are offered issued guns and will at least at some point opt to use their own, but most departments have an "approved list"
