What do you carry and in what caliber? When ever I talk to students in my classes the question always comes up as to what I prefer to carry and in what caliber. My answer is always the same, A Glock 19 Pistol, with 16 rds. of 9mm+p, 124 gr. ammo There are times when you may find me carrying another Glock in one of the other major calibers but most of the time a Glock 9mm is in my holster.
The reason I brought up the above information is because I came across an article that was posted by Dave Spaulding, regarding what the lead Law Enforcement Agency in the country is considering for their agents. I have attached it for your information.
