When, oh when will the CHP upgrade their current duty pistol? I fondly remember when they first adopted the 4006 and was actually hoping that during the testing they'd pick the 4506. Back then, the hot pistol for most police agencies was the Beretta 92F...oh yeah, I don't even think I had a driver's license when the transition was made! Ha! Ha!
I'm sure the likely candidate would be the S&W M&P40, but who knows? Are there any new pistol trials coming up for the CHP? Just curious...
On a somewhat related note, when State Traffic Officers carried revolvers, were they issued or could they carry a personally-owned firearm? I seem to recall all sorts of K-Frame, L-Frame and maybe even a few Colts spotted back in the day, 4" and 6" barrels, blue steel and stainless.
My old haunts were near Central and South Los Angeles up until 2006 when I moved to the Great Lakes State.
Thanks for your input!
