The mainstream of Cops today are of the same mind set as Cops 20 to 30 years ago. The issued .38 and .357 was the top of the line then. Cops of today feel the same with being issued a 9mm or .40S&W today. I do feel that Cops are not that into guns like they use to be. PPC shooting was a big thing in many areas but has died off now. Far too many feel revolvers are old and not dependable and think only a high cap auto is the way to go. I carry a S&W 4566 but wouldn't mind packing a old S&W .357. I have the option and have thought many times to do so.
