FAVORITE Duty Pistol

[Ol Law Dawg]

First gun? 4" Colt Diamond Back, $108 new. Oh yea, that was back in 1969. Last gun was a state issued Glock Mdl 30, which I  carried until I retired last April. Favorite gun WWII Colt 1911A1 Army issue. Got it at a County Attorney's auction for $75, it had been used in an armed robbery. Still have every gun I carried for the past 40 years except the Glock.

Have fun and stay safe......

I started with a Mdl 15 Combat Masterpiece. Realized that wasn't enough gun, bought a Mdl 19 4" Combat Magnam. In those days (late 60's -early 70's) we carried the 110gr Supervel (1700fps) This lead me to my favorite a 6" Mdl 27 which was backed up by a .380 PPK/s. In the mid 90's we went to the .40 Glock which was OK. I wore the 27 on my last day on the job. Nothing like it with the dress blouse and full Sam Browne belt.

My current favorite (after a week at Gunsite) is a Kimber 1911.

I got out of the service and went on duty in the late 60's on a dept. in So. Calif.  At that time  we had to provide all our own gear, including uniforms and side arm. My first handgun was an old used 4" Colt Trooper in .38 special.  As soon as I saved up enough, I  bought a 4" S&W Highway Patrolman .357 (N frame), which I carried for the remainder.  I am now retired, bailed out of "Kal-if-ornia",  and live out in the country in beautiful East Texas, where I was born. I'm still packing that N frame (now with stag grips and .357 mag. ammo), and have never felt "out gunned" as long as it's within reach.
And, God Bless Texas!

EE, I carried a factory nickel Model 58 41 Mag. at the last PD I worked at before I went to work for the County. Night Quals were like a 106 mm Recoiless rifle going off. The range was open air, but it has a sheetmetal roof, LOUD!
