I know I want what is going to work the best and I carry the 9mm.
    Any info about .40 comparing to those?

      It would be great if you could share what duty ammo and what barrel length (duty arm)?

          We can carry almost anything we want in 9/40/45, and over half our officers are carrying G21. Another 25% are carrying .45 1911's, HK's etc. So, 75% .45 at least.

                .40 SW is the most commonly used.

                  We can only carry 9mm or 45acp. Don't have any info on the 40.

                      Eureka PD requires that a Glock 22 is carried. No options. Being a G23, .40 S&W is of course the caliber.

                          In handi-guns, .40 & .45; about evenly split.
