Well I have been accepted for our police academy and I have to buy my own duty weapon. A little background of myself I have been shooting competitive pistol sports for about 5 years but most of it has been with my SP01 Shadow. So now I'm looking at several duty pistols to change over too. I already have a M&P fullsize and an HK45. The department allows pretty much all well known manufactures. I also get to build another AR but that will be another topic.

Welcome to a tough job and the rigors of academy life. I don't want to just shut you down and lock this up, but there really is a great deal of pre-academy and duty/carry gun choice info already up here and not warranting another thread. You'll find the most common recommendation is going to be a Glock 17/19, or an M&P in 9mm. You may need to do a site-specific google search to get the info as the search feature can be a little wonky. (exp: site:m4carbine.net <terms>)

Happy reading.
