Most RCMP members carry the old S&W 5946.

Since mid 1990's.......:(

I did my Black Badge with all RCMP folks and at the end of day one we swapped guns. I had my Shadow 2 and they had what looked like the S&W in the above.

They were astonished at how well my S2 shot. I, by contrast, was astonished by how heavy the trigger was on their S&W. Pretty sure it was DAO too but I could be remembering that wrong as it was a while ago.

There was also some weird feature that you had to use an empty mag to check / prove the gun was clear? I remember it was a right procedure at the end of every drill. Most illogical thing I had seen in a while.

It's a magazine disconnect.

During the "unload and show clear" phase, you have to remove the magazine and round from the chamber. During the "if clear, hammer down" phase, you have to re-insert a magazine (usually an empty mag) to drop the hammer. You then remove the magazine...

It's the same process with some S&W M&Ps.

Yep, that pretty much sums up what I remember (I knew I didn't imagine it :D ).
