I am very pro-leo , and this is a yet another waste of tax payer money. I understood and supported the upgrade from Beretta, but this their 2nd Glock model. SMH! There is nothing I can say that hasn't really already been said.
However I can I am surprised the Troopers aren't the most upset. They need this money on their checks. I saw their pay matrix..I was not impressed. They should be treated better and funds should not wasted on new guns when they already are carrying the best.
(which they were having favorable reviews in all the after action reviews when they were used and did in fact stop the bad guys) then why mess with something that aint broke?
To be the Devil's Advocate, doubt instills fear. The moment they had negative outcomes or unwanted usage scenarios that gun was doomed with LE....as it should be. Positive AARs be what they are I'd never want me, my buddies, or any other public servant to be the guy submitting the AAR where the weapon repeated previous failures. Regarding why those weapons are being replaced (reality): because the ISP doesn't want any sort of liability inherent with a gun that had trained or operated in the real world with unintended outcomes. I wouldn't even be shocked if their insurance company didn't mandate the replacement of all of those weapons.

I received the "official" email today that we are switching to the Sig 227 not the FN FNX. I think I will like the 227 much better than the FNX. At least you can find holsters for the 227. They have the same frame size as the 226/220.
I guess somebody needs to try out a new untested pistol, might as well be the taxpayers. What happens when these don't work?

Yeah I am sure that the factory has never tested the pistol. They just release a new gun and let the buyers try them out. I'm sure that if a problem arises Sig would stand behind their product.

I see what your saying but in the cas eof SIG I actually believe they can pull it off. I have never heard of any major problems with the 220-229 series. The 220 I used for duty ran and ran and ran. Hope ISP gets a good one this time, they deserve it.
We'll see, I love 220's as well and would have been the smart choice. Has ISP even had any 227's for T&E yet? It sounds like they aren't even going to bother. It just sounds very unconventional to adopt a brand new pistol that is not even available yet?
