About me
I'm Anna, 33, originally from AZ, work in UT. I've worked in law enforcement since June 2013, first in OH and now in UT. I'm not someone who watches a lot of TV or movies nowadays but I do occasionally and I'd like hopefully contribute in some way if there's ever anything I personally notice or can help identify.
Personal Firearms Experience
Issued Sidearms
- Glock 23 Gen4: 2013 to 2016
- Springfield Armory 1911 Professional: 2016 to 2021
- Glock 19M MOS: 2021 to Present
Personally Owned
- Glock 27 Gen4: Pretty much limited to nightstand duty nowadays.
- SIG-Sauer P239 DAO: Got it cheap as a LE trade-in, at least cheap by SIG standards anyway.
- Walther PPK: Owned it briefly between 2010 and 2016, ended up giving it to a friend (who's a big Walther aficionado) as a retirement gift.
Information
I ended up buying a Gen4 Glock 27 because I wanted a somewhat practical off duty handgun that was the same caliber Glock 23. It was never really the most practical size to carry comfortably so I ended up getting a good deal on a SIG P239 in DAO that was a law enforcement trade-in, after that the G27 has mostly just been used for home defense type duties. I've carried the P239 off duty since 2014 or so, there's definitely a lot better CCW/off duty type handguns available nowadays, the Glock 43/X and the M&P Shield come to mind, not to mention the Kahr PM9 but I've always been a SIG fan.
I was fortunate enough to just join in time to see a few P228's still in service with more 'seasoned' guys and gals and admittedly it's a bit like my unicorn, similar to how the Smith & Wesson 1076 was for people who joined a decade or so before me; a few still kicking around but uncommon enough to be unique. I'd consider myself a SIG fan, despite only having owned my P239 personally. However unlike a lot of SIG fans, I actually like SIG's DAO trigger and to a lesser extent the DAK, never liked DA/SA personally, so while I'm a SIG fan it's safe to say I'm a 'weird' one.
Other Handguns
Here's a list of handguns I've had a chance to try out, mostly a mix of coworkers sidearms, sidearms carried by people from other agencies and personally owned ones. Please bear in mind my experience with these is very limited, some to less than 10 rounds so not enough time to get a proper opinion of them.
- Glock 22: Issued to several coworkers in both third generation and Gen4, it's a Glock so not much to say about it.
- Glock 22: The RTF2 variant, belonged to a DUSM I knew. I just tried it out because it was interesting and because the owner had an early-ish optic on it but I don't recall the model of it. Better ergonomics than the Third gen in my opinion.
- SIG-Sauer P229 DAK: The railed but not E2 version for those curious, carried by a friend from another agency. Probably my favorite of all the handguns I've tried so far.
- SIG-Sauer P228: Technically an M11, not a DA/SA fan but definitely a fan of the P228/M11 in general.
- SIG-Sauer P226 DAO: The NYPD version, interesting due to my actually liking DAO SIG's I found the NYPD's P226 to be just fine for me. Keep in mind I'm used to a SIG DAO trigger so it's similar to what I'm familiar with, other coworkers darn near hated it due to the heavy trigger.
- Glock 19: Second generation with the NY-2 trigger, lets just say not a fan. While I'm okay with heavy DAO triggers for SIG, not a fan of heavy triggers on Glock.
- Glock 17M/19M: For all intents and purposes a Gen 5 17 and 19, I skipped over the 19M due to being issued the SA 1911 at the time but I do prefer the M and Gen 5 Glocks to the Gen4 and previous iterations.
- Glock 21: Third generation, I prefer 1911's for my .45's but the 21 was perfectly fine.
- H&K P2000: With the CDA (LEM) trigger, not the best ergonomics for me personally but the trigger was surprisingly nice, despite what I thought before trying it.
