Agencies Authorizing .45 Pistols in Maryland

[John from Maryland]

I may have posted this several years ago, but the topic has has reappeared. What agencies in Maryland authorize and/or issue .45 handguns for off-duty/back-up or duty weapons?If you can post or PM the agencies, I can contact their training units to verify for my proposal.

Thanks and be safe.

Baltimore County allows for off duty carry of .45's. You have to supply your own ammo and they might regulate what grain you carry. I do not know the details.

[IBTP711]

PG allows .45 for certain officers, ie tac & est

Some of Ocean City full timers also use .45. I think it's their "tac" team.

MSP , MD NRP, allow the 45 for off duty weapons/secondary weapons. Worcester County Sheriff and Berlin PD carry them as their duty gun in Wo county

Sarge,

If I remember correctly, Wicomico County Sheriff's issue the .45 Glock as their duty weapon.

[FireCop604]

Anne Arundel allows for .45 in an off duty capacity. Maybe as a back-up as well but not sure on that one.

[BigSky]

Chuck Norris uses a S&W .500

[Langhorn.45]

Havre de Grace issues G21 .45 for their duty weapon. You're allowed to carry .45 off-duty as long as you qual on it... and so I carry a G30 .45!

Elkton issues some sort of Sig in .45, or at least they did several years ago, dont know if they have since switched.
