Can I modify my duty weapon?

[micro911]

Psych eval is not an easy process either. Many people fail it, believe it or not.

Depends on department, ask the range master once you pass probation.

Don't ask before or you may give the wrong impression.

Good luck and be safe.

Yup, sounds like you are home free. I'd be looking for an invite from the fellas to go get a cup any day now.

That's what I was thinking... Sounds like the majority of the process is still in the future... OP, I would not change ANYTHING about your firearm, duty gear, or anything at all until you have been around a bit. The last thing you want is to be brand new and already attracting attention to yourself as the guy that can't leave anything alone.

I'll be the guy who can out shoot his whole department cause of his "funny looking gun"

I don't understand why you would even want to change all that stuff out. you really want to start your career being "that guy" with the funny looking gun?

[kimxmartin]

I do realize that I'm thinking to ahead of the future. And I kind of understand why would I want to mess with my duty weapon. Personally I don't think the process is so hard or tough. That's probably the marine inside telling me that. Also this weapon might one day save a life either its mine or someone else. And personally a stock weapon can only take me so far. Thats why we upgrade them right?(Beside making them look badass!) To help us perform better and faster right?

Looks like you got it all figured out there john Wayne.

Don't insult the poor man!











(Mr. Wayne, I mean.)

Ahh, that explains it. He IS "that guy".

There's always one in every academy.

OP, is this the kind of customization you are thinking about?

It would only be fair if you can out shoot them with standard issued guns.

[1911su16b870]

Nope.

Your department will issue you a firearm and will expect you to maintain it in the condition it was issued.

Hey homies, pack it up we're leaving town. There's a marine with a bad assed looking gun trying to join the PD.

[TOM_ONE]

The funny thing is, the 2 people in my academy class who passed out when we got gassed were marines. Not hating, just funny.

Judging by some of your comments, police work isn't just running and gunning. Sure, some departments let you modify your duty gun. But that Defense Attorney is going to eat that up in court if you happen to be involved in an OIS.

There were Marines who didn't make it in my class either. Don't forget, there are academics as well. The Marines seemed to handle the inspections and PT fine, but the stress of all of the elements together proved too much for some.
