Or the Springfield XD, or S&W M&P series. Springfields have articulated trigger, grip and internal block safeties. You can carry in Cond. 1 in a secure holster without worrying about any unintended bangs.

I personally prefer a SigSauer in the 9mm and .380 variety. My preference for .45 is the Para Ordnance due to it's larger magazine capacity. My Colt Commander however came out of the box shooting absolutely spot on with no adjustments needed.

I don't really like Glocks. I feel the trigger pull is variable and stiff. Just a personal observation of my particular Glock that I sold after I embarrassed my self in a friendly shooting competition with the owner of a S&W.

In the hands of the ATF I'd suspect that they will be trained in the proper safety quirks of the weapon, mainly to keep your finger out off the trigger. However safety with weapons is an attitude of attention to detail, professionalism and being somewhat respectful of the weapon you are carrying. Men that need to 'show off" and use a weapon as a fashion accessory are dangerous. ... to themselves and the public. I've not been overly impressed with any of the ATF personnel that I've seen at the range or being interviewed on television.

They actually make the FBI look good in comparison. However their mission statement and leadership as the enforcers of the federal laws makes them somewhat of an opponent to certain libertarians and those that hold the second amendment as sacrosanct. If they're happy with a .40 caliber weapon, good for them. I'd rather have a .45, but as I've stated, it is only a preference that I have. "Stopping power" , magazine capacity and the rest of the arguments to me are usually pointless if you don't maintain your shooting skills.

If the officers shot IPSC and trained weekly then I'd suspect that a .22 would provide the lethality instead of the spray and pray that I've seen in some videos.

I’ve got an HK USP and a Glock 30. I much prefer the G30.
