A Concord PD Officer and a Kimber Raptor

[deucestroke]

I just seen saw a Concord PD Officer down at Todos Santos Plaza with a Kimber Raptor on his side. Not your usual issued side arm. I guess they can carry what they want. How does that work. Just curious.

saw, not seen.

Never too old to learn.

Thank you for correcting me. I'm so ashamed of myself.

Was he a plain cloths or in Blue? ...I know most of the tactical guys carry 1911's

[deucestroke]

He was wearing his regular blues and riding a mountain bike.
(I hope my reply is in proper sentence form.)

Haven't noticed this locally, but a month ago at Sea-Tac airport noticed the port authority folks carrying different guns. Two of them had 1911's, and one had a Sig. I remember thinking it curious there wasn't consistency among officers of the same agency.

in the city i work our pd has a pretty broad list of sidearms they can carry.....which has luckily carried over to us as arson investigators. 1911's. sig, glock, springfield xd........

I know some folks there, and have asked about it. The Department allows for a broad choice of "1911 type" firearms which the officer must purchase on his/her own if they qualify and take some kind of course to famaliarize themselves with the platform.
