Hello all PA's, what are your choices for approved semi auto handguns? And which does the state issue you? Thanks in advance!

What are you asking?
Your question makes no sense.

Nothing to do with PAs approved guns... But think CDCR will be hiring PAs soon?

I know right now they are promoting from within cdcr, not sure if they are hiring from outside the at the moment also.

Oh ok, I'm a 2010 applicant and got a letter in December 2015 asking if I was still interested and to update my county preference. Lets see what happens. Maybe AB109 will get thrown out and PA's will be in demand again...

I have a friend who just got hired by them into a PA job. He had previously been a PA but didn't have hire back rights as he resigned prior to being laid off. Our other buddy who got laid off was hired back a year ago, now the other one went back as a new hire.

Well good to hear they got on with Parole. But thats the risky thing about the state right now, the risk of lay offs. But we'll see what happens and I will cross this bridge if i have too...

I believe PA's are issued S&W M&P .40's, I find that a little odd as CDCR uses the Glock 22 in the institutions and Transportation units. All the prison CRT teams(SWAT teams) use the Glock 35 as their secondary.
There is a good chance that Paroles has changed to the Glock, but don't know for sure.

I'm a bit out of the loop but I know they initially went to the M&P after the 6906 because S&W was willing to make a special model with an external safety for them, which was a requirement to be considered. Unless they change that requirement I don't think Glock will make a run of guns with an external safety.
