Are you limited in caliber when choosing a non issued gun?
We issue gen4 Glock 31s across the board for patrol (admin/detectives get the 32).
On duty, we can carry one of two approved backup weapons (must be 9mm/40/45/357).
Off duty, as long as the gun is from a known manufacturer and is currently in production, we're allowed to carry what we want. No weird stuff. If it's in 380/9/40/45/357, we give the officers ammo for it. Anything else, they have to buy commericially produced ammo, no handloading. Next year, I'm phasing out carrying ammo in anything other than 9mm and 357 for off duty guns. Budget needs to go elsewhere.
