No, this is why the police departments buy them.

Obviously this doesnt account for all cops and not the Special ops teams (if there dept has the money) !

Nothing wrong with Glock I love the Glock 21 , Glock 17,Glock 23 , but if you threw a gold cup glock at me or gold cup 1911 , the 1911 would win everytime!
