I instruct it if you shoot it. -
ok Glock 22 and 27 is what is carried by Patrol units
1911 by swat
now as far as 2ndary weapons you can use almost any weapon from the following authorized manufacturers: Glock, Smith & Wesson and Beretta.
but for practical reasons I would
i would chose a subcompact glock in the same caliber of your primary carry
reason being
You can take the full sized magazines from your primary and insert them into your 2ndary
therefore you do not limit your fire power in anyway other than having a weapon that will have a higher recoil due to its smaller weight and size.
PS. Do me a favor and if I am incorrect or you believe differently please tell me so, but articulate your reasons as to why.Comment

Do good for your life. Being an LEO doesn't pay enough unless you want to dedicate your life for the cause and sacrifice your life literally and figuratively. My wife had a lot of complaints about my schedule and unexpected delay coming home. If I ever start again, I may be a fireman whom EVERYBODY likes.
Maybe I will be a doctor or lawyer or rocket scientist.Comment

The motor officer you saw was probably retired. They work security for the movie studios, wear LAPD uniforms (with their 'retired' badge), but ride their own bikes. They try to make them look as authentic as possible. Retired guys can pretty much carry whatever they want, so if you saw a Sig, he was retired or carrying an unauthorized weapon.
1911's - SWAT, Metro, SIS, Narco and Chief's security.
Everyone else - Glock, S&W & Beretta. 9mm, 40S&W, .45 and .38's for the old-timers. That's it. On or off duty. Recruits are issued Glock .40's.
Whatever you were issued is what you get. Anything else you want you have to buy yourself. No trade-ups.
...of course the powers that be are constantly changing the rules, so your mileage may vary.It cannot be inherited, nor can it ever be purchased.
You and no one alive can buy it for any price. It is impossible to rent and cannot be lent.
You alone and our own have earned it with...Your sweat, blood and lives. You own it forever.
