Quick indiana state police question

[Redhorse]

Can ISP choose their own firearm if they purchase and furnish it, such as a revovler?

 

[TheSpark]

Can't say for sure, but they probably have to use whatever is provided to them.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Revovler? Dude, 1976 called, it wants its issue weapon back.

For off-duty/back-up? Duty gun is what is issued.

Gen 4 22 I believe, most that I have spoke to have been less then impressed, love my Gen 3.5!

Yes, troopers can carry their personally owed firearms on and off duty. There is a list of approved .45 caliber pistols (no revolvers) that can be carried on duty and in uniform. Off duty is open to many calibers and options.

I still occasionally carry a revolver on duty. Well, I always carry A revolver, but sometimes I carry two. I'm pretty satisfied with my P220, but some days it just seems like a .357 kind of day. Especially on court days when I know I'm going to be sitting in those tight chairs for awhile.

They are switching to the Sig P227 double stack .45 from what my friends who are troopers have told me.

Really, all these years I have never seen a Troop in uniform carry anything on their belt other than what was issued. Hmmm

Customized M&P .45 4.5 inch here

 

[freekforge]

from what i hear they change calibers and guns all the time. but no revolvers are on the list of approved guns

I was told by an ISP Trooper that they are told exactly what kind of shoes they have to wear & cannot choose their own. Can't imagine them allowing officer choice of gun/holster/etc., at least ON duty.

For example I'm 19. If I went through the academy once I turned 21 could I opt to carry a .357? I'm thinking not but I know someone on here can clarify. Not wanting a debate, just an answer.

No, no 357 wheels guns allowed in uniform while on duty, only .45 caliber pistols approved from the list or the issued G21 at this time.

Not sure about ISP but I know most Sheriffs departments can.

Internal ISP memos that I personally read.

My son-in-law is a isp (district 45), I ask him this question yesterday and he said they are required to carry the issued firearm.

LOL, I wonder how I've gotten away with carrying a custom M&P .45 for the past year in uniform?

Not sure about ISP but I know most Sheriffs departments can.

My experience over the last decade would lead me to believe the the best answer is it is agency dependent. Saying most sheriffs offices allow it would be a bit misleading in my experiences/opinion.

Stay safe
