What type of gun do Police officers usually carry on them?

Freshman in college studying to go into criminal justice. Doing a report on detectives/police officer work. Have a question on what type of gun they/you guys carry on you?

You're going to get a lot of different answers. Throughout my career, I carried a .38, .357, .44, .45.
Off duty on occasions, I would carry a 9 MM.

Glock model 22s are common on the patrol level. Glock model 23s are common on the detective level at my husbands dpt.

Department issue for me is the Glock 17 in 9mm. Back up weapons are optional but encouraged, and I usually carry a Kahr MK9 on my ankle. AR-15's and Remington 870's are carried in the trunk. Most departments are going with the Glock pistols in various calibers. No agency or officer I know authorizes or carries revolvers anymore.

The large dept where I worked in OH, officers carry a 9mm and Sgts have those, plus they have shotguns in their trunks while they are on duty.

My dept carries the S&W MP40 cal across the board at the patrol level. I do not know what the detectives carry.

The agencies in my county carry 9mm, 40 or 45 cal. Glocks. Very few use S&W or Barrettas. I'm not aware of any other makes carried on duty in this area. I think you'll find the brand of choice is the Glock.

Our department carries Glock 23 (.40 Cal). Our jail is going from Glock 27 to a 9mm.

Glock 9mm.

Guns vary by departments. Primarily 9mm, Glocks, Sigs. SandW, some Taurus, Beretta, Ruger. There is no one universal standard issue brand. Hope this helps.
