Actually, they went with the L frame, newly introduced at the time. NDs with Glocks are directly a result of poor training. One thing I have seen is agencies being afraid of better firearms training, because in fact the better trained an officer is, the more likely they are to actually shoot people they should. Far too many, probably most, command officers would rather go to a cop's funeral than deal with the fallout of a perfectly lawful and utterly inane shooting. (Sadly, there is even research showing this - which makes me want respond in a perfectly uncivil and harsh manner.)
