I can attest to the Texas Ranger thing. I ran into one at my local range and he was shooting his 1911. I asked if it was his duty weapon and he said, "No, this is." and pulled out another 1911. I couldn't help but laugh.srothstein wrote:Just as a minor technical correction, but the Rangers are issued Sigs. Many of them (if not all) carry 1911's that they purchase on their own.austinrealtor wrote:And Texas DPS Troopers & Rangers carry Sig P226 in .357 Sig, as does the US Secret Service.
And if anyone is interested, TABC issues Glock 22s but allows agents to carry almost anything they desire. It has to be in a caliber that can use Speer Gold Dot ammo is almost the only rule (or was in 2009 when I left there).

Re: Smith and Wesson M&P question....
I'm a big fan of the .357 sig. The only downfall is the high cost of ammunition. Texas Department of Criminal Justice Transportation officers carry the S&W M&P .357 sig if that means anything to you. The M&P is a great gun and the .357 sig is a great caliber.
