Texas Rangers are permitted to carry any sidearms they chose as long as they can qualify on a regular basis. Most favor the department issue .357 cal. Sig Sauer, or .45 cal. Colt 1911's. There is at least one force that actually sees the "cost savings" in skimping on quality and stopping power!
I know several LEO's that would take a 1911 or a Sig P220 over their dept issues anyday! Darn beancounters are worthless.
