I was just curious what type of rounds you carry. While a active duty MP we carried 45 rounds of plain 9mm ammo, but as a AF civilian officer we carry 30 hollow point 9mm ammo.

9mm ball currently. In the not so distant future, it is anyone’s guess as we have to get all new weapons for us civilians. Hopefully 45 rounds of .40 hollow point or something other than 9mm. We do have one old timer that wants .38 wheel guns, his reason “I have always wanted to carry one and think it would be cool†thankfully he retires in about 3 weeks.It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

oh, they still only issue you what the mags carry, I keep 15 in the mag and one chambered leaving my last mag with only 14. I would venture to say that the rationale is probably based on ammo accountablity. There is no good Law Enforcement reason in doing so, I believe its strictly an accountablity measure. Most DoD policies are created with the teenage MP in mind and not the seasoned law enforcement professional.Never ask a man if he served in the Marine Corps!

They also only issue you what the magazines hold because is you were allowed to top off there would have to be loose rounds kept in the armory. Very unsightly and un-military looking at inspection time. Plus as the previous poster said, it just make accountability easier.
