Do No Harm,
Do Know Harm
| Patrol: HK USP .45. I’d still carry it today if I could. Detective/plainclothes: Glock 23 The G23 led me to buying a Glock 19 
Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.
Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

| There was nothing wrong with my originally issued S&W Model 10, so arguably it was the best. My most modern issued gun was a .40 S&W M&P 1.0. Name wise I went full circle. |

| My favorite was a personally owned Colt Combat Elite. The best issued was a Sig P229r, 2 tone with the SRT and night sights. They replaced 25 year old Beretta 96's. The agency I am with now just issued Glock 45's and ceased allowing us to carry personally owned guns. The 45 shoots nice and fits me well, but it's no Sig or Colt
Yeah, I used to have a couple of guns.

| The SIG 226 9mm was probably the best issue pistol I was ever issued. I do wish it had la light rail like my .40 226R did. |

| Glock 17 GEN2. Issued in 1994. Now G17 Gen5. By far the most accurate Glock. |

A bit off topic, but I know what happens when you holster a P7M8 in a holster designed for a P7 PSP. The magazine shoots out about 10 feet behind you and your friends point and laugh!

| What else but the Glock 19? A generation 5 model in my case. If I was allowed to carry a personally owned Glock 17 gen5 just for serving warrants and things of a “tactical” nature I would because I do prefer a full sized grip. However, that is a pretty small portion of my work and the Glock 19 really is a perfect pistol for a plain clothes investigator, even one that occasionally does some tactical stuff. Honorable mention goes to a uniformed part time police gig that I had before I went fed. We weren’t issued guns and could carry anything we wanted and I carried my Wilson CQB light rail gun.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” |
