Why wouldn't they go with the G17. With the larger grip it would be easier to hold with gloves.
I never have like the YOU CARRY WHAT I WANT YOU TO CARRY frame of mind. Not when it comes to pistols. Ft Worth PD was only allowed to carry Sigs for many many years. That was only because the chief was a huge sign fan. It wasn't until recently they were allowed to carry Glock. I agree that Sig is a well made gun but it is far from my choice of weapon.
