[@SavagePatriot.]

Are the drivers allowed to carry while on duty ? I'm curious, I live in commie NYC where we are lucky the cops are allowed to carry.

[@boonies2158]

I was a plain clothes detective for over half of my 20 plus years on the job. I was fortunate enough to carry pretty much whatever I wanted as long as it met department guidelines and I could qualify with it. I was issued a Glock 23, but not a fan of it. I carried various 1911’s to include Wilson combat and Nighthawk. I ran across an article by Massad Ayoob about his experience with the Glock 30 and on several occasions achieving less than 1” groups at 25 yards. I picked up a gen 3 Glock 30 and Massad was spot one. Most accurate Glock, in my hands, I’ve shot to this day and I’ve shot nearly every Glock model. I carried this until I retired. I would rather have a $500.00 pistol taken for evidence than a $4k 1911.

[@VAPrepper757]

What I was thinking only problem with Nighthawk is the $$$ and a detective puts themselves in situations where they would need to use the firearm therefore lose it for an undetermined amount of time during investigation and possible court case after which can lasts years! Beautiful firearm but would think sure own one if you got the $$$ but carry something else just as dependable but less $$$

[@dessertsniper]

The Glock 30SF is one of the most slept on firearms IMO. It’s a beautiful balance of power, conceal-ability, and size.

Delivery driver here. Carry a psa dagger now but I’ve considered the 365. Just need a no nonsense firearm that works and doesn’t have a huge grip that will print or has weight that makes it feel like I’m carrying bricks. It has to be something that can be on body all day. A 19x wouldn’t be a popular choice for this.

As an aerospace engineer, I carry a govt 1911 in .45. if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Most of our modern passenger aircraft are based on designs from 60-70 yrs ago with some improvements here and there. Modern day 1911's (and 2011's for the 9mm guys, I ain't judging) share the same sentiment, and that's why I run one. I'm also based in AZ, so now I've got to check out both those shops!

Most cops retire after between 20 and 30 years on the force. That means with 20 to 30 years the "old man" on the force would be in their mid 40s to early 50s. Meaning a detective can be seen as "older" in their mid 30s.

Great topic and great video! As for me I’m a restaurateur. So when i was located in a city/urban environment I was edc an HK USP compact or the full-size. Reliability was the key and definitely went with 45 acp no joking. Since then im located in suburbs growing area but still get some sketchy or etc etc. l mean you always have to have a guard up. These areas is probably where criminals can catch you off guard. But anyhow I carry an sig sauer p365xl. Waiting on HK to come out with something similar. Slim and light. For the area I’m in, I’m good with sig p365xl👍 Until HK comes out with something very similar 😂 I’m not holding my breath though.

[@clima]

Im a mechanical engineer and I’m with the HK VP9 or any H&K vs the 2011: light weight, high capacity, accurate, great engineer design and extremely reliable. I also appreciate the engineer uniqueness behind any Beretta. The one that blows my mind is the engineering simplicity and reliability of a Glock.
