I'm a police officer, and my Dept. issues the Kimber pro carry II 45acp as a duty weapon, it is a nice weapon, and is very accurate. But even though that is what is issued you dont have to carry it, I've been a Peace Officer for 16 years and have served of a couple of larger departments where there was was a lot of "activity" in which you had to rely on your back up, and your weapons. And of all the handguns I've used here are my my favorite combos for duty use if you have the luxury of carrying what you want "within reason"; as a duty side arm, either a Glock mod. 22 40cal with a baby Glock in the same cal. as a back-up strapped to your bp. vest. Or another good combo is; a Sig Sauer mod. 229 40cal. for your duty weapon, and a stainless steel Smith & Wesson chiefs special snub nose 38special strapped to your bp. vest as a back-up and loaded with 125gr. +p gold dot ammo --- AS FOR THE GLOCK 19? I CARRY IT OFF DUTY in a fanny pack or an S.O.B. HOLSTER loaded with cor-bon 115gr. +p ammo (the ballistics are very close to that of a 357 magnum)"check out cor-bons web sight on ballistics of their ammo. if you must carry a 9mm carry the hottest load your glock 19 or whatever 9mm you have can safely handle. Enough said -- be safe out there (FRANKLIN45ACP@YAHOO.COM)
