The 1911 is still the best handgun for duty carry. It is a shame they make a single law enforcement officer in the world travel without one. They make us carry the 9mm and everyone hates it. Even with hollow tips you dont have the stopping power. They powers that be are more concerned about our shots penetrating the target and causing damage beyond, which is a valid concern, but could be countered by allowing us to carry a duty and backup weapon of a different calibur and better training in judgemental shooting.
I agree with what he says about the M4, but I would love to be able to carry the M14 in the field, though I havent seen much of the new generations.
The SAW has been a long time favorite of the boys over here and weve had no problems with jamming but most of the field testing weve done on it has been in the states and the actual combat use in tropical climates so I cannot attest to is reliability in the desert.
