I was told that all MSP Sigs are being, or have been destroyed and that the troopers were not even able to purchase their issued gun, because of some defect in the DAK model that was produced specifically for the MSP. Unfortunately, I don't think you will be able to add to your collection.

There have been some ethical opinions in the past that have deemed an officer's purchase of his old duty weapon a violation of ethical rules, based on the fact they have the ability to buy a weapon not equally available to the public.Not destroyed; sold as a lot to CDNN. I made an inquiry because I could use one or two.
Obviously the mass.gov doesn't care about ethics, I can't go down to my LGS and order a Gen 4 Glock.a violation of ethical rules, based on the fact they have the ability to buy a weapon not equally available to the public.
What town is that?
Side note: Looks like MSP STOP teams are using 1911's, too.
I can't say it enough how GHEY the SWAT guys are in Multi-Cam.

S&W E Series 5 inch with tactical rail and weapon mounted light. The Trooper I spoke with said they had some problems at first with pins breaking in the guns, but that S&W quickly addressed and fixed the issue. YMMV
Thinking about the 1911's.... Why would that be their choice? I understand SpecOps and MARSOC operators using a 1911 instead of a .mil SIG or M9 9mm for stopping power, etc. But the standard issue MSP handgun is the M&P45 in 10+1 config, while the 1911 is only 8+1. Why would the STOP guys want these other than to be cool?

I wish I had switched us to G21's
I've had a bunch of problems with the M&P 45 since we got them. It's a nice gun to shoot, but hindsight being what it is....
Plus, from an armorers perspective, I think Glocks have the advantage without a doubt. Back to your thread though.
state police... grumble... grumble.. m&p 1911's... sharks and laser beams... grumble... taxes
That's all.... I thought you had a long list of problems... guess you just don't care for them... it happens
I just got one from Mass Firearms School yesterday (last one). Trigger is freaking terrible. One of the worst I've ever used. But knowing its corrected fairly easily, I grabbed it up anyway. Ordered apex carry trigger kit as soon as I got it home. Sucks that its necessary but it is what it is I suppose. It's not like I can buy a new Glock 21.
