I went to Galveston for a wedding this past weekend, and was hanging out in front of the chapel waiting for the bridesmaids/bride to show up (limo was off schedule). I got to talk for a bit to minister and the Galveston PD officer working security, and got my first chance to get a good glance at a policeman's sidearm during the conversation. To my surprise, it was cocked and locked. I asked him if he was carrying a 1911, and he said he that yes, it was a Springfield. I complimented him on his sidearm and mentioned that it's fairly rare to see as a service pistol. He said that there were several on his force that carry a 1911, including his supervisor. Here's to Galveston PD and good taste in sidearms!
