I have always carried a Glock. Currentlly I carry the model 19. It's small enough to conceal easily, it has good magazine capacity (if you don't live in Kalifornia) and it's not so small that it is uncomfortable to shoot. Inexpensive, reliable and some places will give CO's law enforcemet prices. I only paid $430 for mine and it came three magazines. That is about $80 less than normal pricing.War to the knife and knife to the hilt.

Glock 17 at the LE price with full kit. I use a variety of holsters depending on dress and occasion. I'm kind of a big guy, so it fits my hand well enough. I did try out the G19, and the finger grooves were not a good fit for me, although I probably could have made it work, such as maybe modify the grip a bit. The one I carry, although considered full size for the 9mm, can be carried on me without printing if I use IWB or belly band or Thunder Wear. I wear my civilian clothing loose which also helps alot, plus I prefer loose fitting clothing.

Sigh, I know I'll catch hell for this. But WHEN I carry off duty its a Taurus Model 85 .38 cal 5 shot.
It's a good dependable weapon.Be sure you're right, then go ahead

Never pick a fight with an old man.
If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

It's a good dependable weapon."Keep up the good fight, pass the word, and teach others to fight back when unjustly assaulted--be it on the street or in the courtroom. Self-defense is a normal, moral act. So teach your family, friends, and students practical defense against both physical and legal marauders." by Jerry VanCook www.PrisonOfficer.Org

Off Duty Carry
I choose between the Glock 27 and a Sig P 229. It all depends upon how I am dressed. I carry either of the two because most law enforcement carry on or the other in my area. I would rather have something I can exchange a magazine with if the ---- hits the fan. Semper FiConvict says I'm geeting tired of this health care system. I reply can I see your health care providers card and where did you say you were treated prior to coming to prison? Oh you used the corner pharmacy, we don't have that here NEXT PLEASE!
