Pistols of the OPP

A few years ago I was at a conservation club meeting and there was an OPP there from the K-9 unit. He was carrying an H&K P7 which really surprised me considering they were not that common & pretty pricey compared to most other police sidearms. Mind you that was about 15 years ago so I wouldn't be surprised if they've been replaced by now.

K-9 units have x5's along with TRU in 9mm
ERT have P229 RDAK and a light attached in .40
Most OPP have P229 with a standard 13+ pound trigger, and some have a P229 Rail with a half DAK (first long notch removed so first half of trigger pull is just empty weight until the second notch engages. In .40 of course.
Some physically smaller OPP have a P239 in .40
 
I am more interested in the Colt CQB in the front seat, and the bag of ammo on the front passenger seat, as they are ready for battle at any given moment. And boy, do they have fun training with those Colts. Any OPP officer I have met in Ontario have been pretty decent folk. Having lived most of my life out west and dealing with their Canadian counterparts on occasion, I can't say I've had the same experience. Just to clarify, I've been pulled over on country roads for minor things and end up talking for 45 minutes here in Ontario about everything under the sun. My first conversation was "Hey, is that a P229 with Hogue Grip?" and off we go chatting. It would never happen out west, ever.
