Just read Massad Ayoobs article in American Handgunner and he talks of the ISP getting the 227. SIGs are good guns and those guys deserve it. He also wrote that the dept has changed sidearms 6 or 7 times in 25 years. Really???
Yup, the Troopers change guns like some change underwear!

Yes, they used the Glock platform and Beretta platform for many years, Does it really matter what caliber? Anyway, its good that a department is willing to continuously improve and seek better gear.
Although the switch to the G21 was done against the wishes and advice of almost everyone else but the former commissioner... A Trooper acquaintance of mine said that some suspect that he wanted to retire with an issued .45.....rather than a 9mm.
That same acquaintance said that many guys were having reliability issues with the G21, too. Cycling issues. Not sure if it was on the level that their previous G22s had - but none the less, some were indeed having issues.
