Just wanted to drop back in and say congrats on graduating and getting hired. Stay safe out there and good luck on your field training!

After putting 500rds down range with the academy's Glock 17 I have no disire to get one. The grips are way to big for my hands and the trigger is not my cup of tea. I just wanted something different than a 9mm and thought the .357 would be a good option.

If it's just the grip size that's a bugger, you can look at the Gen 4 G23 (.40) or G32 (.357) which offer a slightly smaller grip and the Gen 4s offer the ability to swap out palm swells varying the grip size even more. I have small hands and didn't care for the G17 but a G19 Gen 4 with the palm swell removed made the grip the perfect size.

That sounds about right. Good luck, I absolutely hated the polygraph and with a good reason. There's a lot I could say about that but won't until after you're done with yours.

Good luck to you! I'm more than a little envious as LE is something I've wanted to do for years but my career ended up going elsewhere.

I have a friend who is an instructor at your academy and it sounds like a great place that cares a great deal for their students.
