I was issued a well well used s&w model 10 when I got my first security job in 1981. I was able to talk my boss into getting several of us colt series 80 1911's . I have loved the 1911 ever since. Heavy but thin and very very reliable. I was later offered a smith model 59, but stayed with the 1911.

My First Duty Weapon was a Third Gen G19 and I carried it with two spare Mags for about 15 years! I qualified at the top of my class every year with this gun. This was the Best shooting Glock that I ever owned!

I am old School as you will see / 1st was 1911A1 U.S.Army MP 95b That is old school / my first LEO job was a Smith Model 66-No Dash...Then we went to Sig P226 in 9MM. Thinking back I could have purchased my Smith 66 for like $200.00 Dam I wish I had.

Ruger Speed Six Revolver in 1993. Converted to Glock 17 in 1998.

 

[The Hawk]

S&W Model 66 with white outline rear sight, red ramp front sight. Our dept. transitioned to .40 Glock several years later. We were allowed to purchase our issued .357 when we retired for $125.00. It was kind of a thanks for your years of service thing.

 

[Renoc]

Model 19, six inch barrel. With 357 mag ammo

In 1984, at our department, you went through the academy with a revolver and, were required to carry a revolver the first two years. Self purchased.

When I went through the academy, as a reserve, one of my fellow students was one of the first Gunsite graduates and, One of Colonel Coopers first instructors at Gunsight. To put it mildly, a 1911 fan. There was no one at the department that had anywhere close to his pedigree. So, my fellow student, became our firearms instructor. Under the tutelage of the director of the regional academy. Who was also a Reserve at our department (rules and stuff we’re more casual back then)


So, I did all my Academy training with a lightly modified Colt 1911. Series 70.

Graduated and, the Department firearms instructor, also a 1911 fan, waived the 2 year revolver rule and, I started with a 1911.

And, because of my buddy, we ordered duty holsters, Sam Browns and double mag holders. Custom made for us by Milt Sparks.

I was living large back then.

Also carried 2 speed loaders on belt...LOL...Old guys were still using their issued "dump pouches"!

Those where monsters pistols.

[RadarRunner]

DEC 1988, S&W 686, 4 inch, & am glad made the choice to keep it after we transitioned to pistols.

 

[Petra]

My first day on the job was January 3, 1987. I had a S&W 686 in my holster and hopes of making at least my little section of the world a better place. I no longer have either.
