JCordell can probably shed some more light on this.

However, in my city/county, it isn't so much that the officers aren't allowed to carry their issue piece while off duty, in fact, all of our Deputies are mandated to carry off duty, but just a matter of convience.

The Dept. issues the Glock 17 and the Glock 22, several Deputies carry Government Models, and one carries a S&W Model 13, loaded with the "FBI Load."

Those are big, full sized guns. Kinda hard to carry when not wearing a full duty belt.

So, hence the off duty piece.
