Sounds like the new chief is an anal-retentive control freak, the quintissential bureaucrat. Wonder if his desire for uniformity will lead him to issue orders that the pistol be carried on the right side . . . even if the officer is left handed. (I've heard that some departments have so directed.)Dwight K. Schrute wrote: . . . Art Acevedo (new APD chief for those not in the Austin area) was doing his best to make ALL officers carry Glock .40s, no ifs, ands, or buts. Thoughts?

About a year ago, a uniformed motorcycle officer of Austin PD pulled up next to me when I was stopped at a red light, and I got a look at his sidearm - it was a stainless 1911, carried cocked and locked.
I wouldn't be happy working for Dallas, as SIGs have, in my hands, terrible "pointability."
Hmmm . . . I believe a friend's son joined Dallas PD a couple of years ago, and I could've sworn he told me his son carried a Glock. I'll ask him next time we talk . . .Dallas PD - ONLY Sigs allowed with the primary duty weapon being the 226 in either 9mm or .357 Sig.
