Oh, I'm sure. What surprises me is how the LAPD, which used to modify their revolvers to fire DAO, not only allowed TDA semi auto's at all, but continues to let officers choose their own weapons. Surprised they haven't gone to Glock with a 12 pound NY trigger. They could have just as easily only offered Beretta 92D's or DAO .45's.
