I carry a .45 Colt 3" most of the time off duty, and once in awhile my Glock 23. On duty, we all carry Glock 22's. The patrol cars all have a version of the Colt carbine in .223. I don't carry one of those as I am now assigned to the County Hospital for security duty. They don't think we need that much fire power around the campus. We can call for back up if needed. Shotguns are getting more scarce, but still my favorite weapon to grab first for building searches.
