I agree that a P99 is probably better, but Glocks are tolerable, cheaper priced, and easier to find. I'd want a pre 2004 Walther P99 or a 2nd Gen Glock 17, so it'd be a bit harder to satisfy my search for either gun.

Police Departments could just get Smith & Wesson pistols. They are better than both.

They are generally a lot heavier with the slide mounted safety/decocker, and the point in getting something like a Walther P99 or a Glock 17 is that they have the same firepower without the controls or weight.

The XD is something to behold. Looks like a Glock, but feels just so comfortable in your hands,

I like the p99 due to it being able to fire in true single action.

About thirty years ago I worked for Barkers, and we sold a lot of RGIs in both .22 and .38. They were very inexpensive, and cheap firearms. We used to joke that RGI stood for Rotten Gun Incorporated.

Later, when I went to work for Pinkertons for a short time, I was horrified to see that they issued RGI .38s to the supervisors. A revolver that had it's barrel, and cylinder chambers sleeved really disturbed me, and I would definitely not want to fire it.

I haven't worked for them since 1980, and that was only for a short while, but yes, they are still around. http://www.securitas.com/pinkerton/en/
