    Default What do your local police carry?

    Our state police carry G37, which is a .45 GAP holding 10 rounds (advantage to the G21 is in thickness and weight).

    In Connellsville, the police gun here is the G22 or G23 (possibly a choice because I've seen both). This is a .40S&W holding 15 or 13 rounds.


    My apologies if this is out of place, but a search didn't locate a similar thread.

    Bristol township carries M&P, again unsure of caliber.
    Newtown Township I "Believe" carry glocks, but that info may be outdated.

    My brother is now a deputy game warden, they issue G31s (.357sig 15rd) with tritium sights. A google site which states what many federal and state agencies carry, as well as some local, say that game & fish carry Beretta 96, which is out of date. It also says Pittsburgh police carry a privately acquired pistol of either G17 or G22.

    Link here: Pennsylvania Guns

    National Guns

    These are both interesting to read through, although may be out of date or inaccurate in some cases.

    Philly carries G17's by default, but officers can also qualify on G21's if they choose to.

    I think our local officers provide their own guns. I've seen Glocks, Sigs, S&W Sigma's, and a few others.
