Pretty well spread out, but I would say 9mm (issue) then 45 then 40. The other agencies around here are 40.

[yzErnie]

Issue 9mm or .45acp handgun, .223 long rifle and 12ga.

[Rob Roy]

43 mauser

Must be difficult to re-stock...

[Ron-Solo]

LASD Issue: 9mm, optional .45ACP

Duty ammo is Ranger SXT

[Rob Roy]

I see 9mm is quite in use. My perception was that it would be .40

[MP301]

CHP uses .40 in S&W guns

[yzErnie]

I see 9mm is quite in use. My perception was that it would be .40

We have seen results that our current issued 9mm ammo has better real life ballistic performance than the .45acp we issue. Hard to belive but absolutely true. I'm forbidden from going into the details of those results but I have seen the performance of our 9mm and .45acp ammo first hand and it works...works good! I know I want what is going to work the best and I carry the 9mm.
