Bottom line, regardless of what the NRA or the feds say, LEOSA is managed by each state and they may or may not have different rules we have to abide by.

That sounds right. A good friend of mine now living in Northern NY was a retired LEO from another state.
Some of his qualifying criteria kinda made me say WOW!
He was allowed to qualify with a model 28 6'' shooting target wad cutters. Time limits were Rip Van Winkle approved.
I'm not a LEO or a LEO knocker but I would think you should be shooting a REALISTIC concealable gun with real save your butt ammo to be LEOSA certified!
I have a unrestricted permit (since early 70s) and the new county judge here in this people republic type state is now ALLOWING many people to upgrade to get a unrestricted permit. The shooting that must be done to get this "privilege" are a heck of a lot more stringent that what my X cop buddy had to do.
FWIW I have not had to certify for unrestricted YET as my permit is real old and more or less grandfathered in. I can pass a realistic hard course of fire with a concealable gun with real ammo if the powers to be demanded it. Best bet I would use my 1911.45 and/or my 15 2'' with right ammo carried in a IWBH
