What ammo do police forces carry in their pistols?

[wicked_police]

is there still that debate about the black talon ammo? i hear hydro shock is pretty popular for hollowpoint in some police forces.

Please tell me you're joking....

 

[mudgunner49]

Some places.

Every place I've been, for duty ammo. I'll re-confirm with the Provincial Firearms Instructor...

RCMP uses Winchester SXT 147 grain hp 9mm, as well as Remington Golden Sabre 147 grain hollow point. The old crusties still have the Teflon coated Black Talons in their mags.

Toronto Police and OPP use Winchester Ranger 180 grain .40

OPS (Ottawa) uses .40 Win MJHP for duty & FMJ for range

Never heard the term MJHP before, care to share more?

Until recently Calgary Police used lead training rounds! In a Glock!

What would the internetz say!

I don't know what they used for duty ammo.
But their training ammo in 40S&W, seems to be, either:
Winchester WinClean 180gr. BEB
or
Winchester Ranger 180gr. T-Series

Never heard of such a thing. What makes it different from a JHP with metal on the outside like copper?

 

[mudgunner49]

or

Ranger-T is essentially SXT. If they're shooting that in training it's because they're burning off carry ammo that they've been toting for awhile...

 

[sandermar]

Opp

OPP duty loads are .40 S&W WIN Ranger T-Series 180gr.

You're late to the party...

I work for for an armored car company that still uses the Smith and Wesson Model 10 .38 special with Speer +P Positive 135 gn JHP Gold Dots. We are supposed to transition to the S&W M&P in .40 cal within the next 100 years (HAH!), but in the meantime, I don't feel too bad about the ammo we are currently issued. It sure beats the lame ass SWC's that were standard carry when I was first employed over 20 years ago....

Hey not only the old crusties have them. I managed upon a box. The RCMP also use to use the federal hydro shock. It is still on the approved list.

Are the Golden Sabers +p by any chance?

 

[awsomeo]

For training, the OPP use Winchester WinClean 180gr. BEB. Don't know what they shoot people with, though.

Winchester Ranger.

 

[saskcop]

Golden Sabres that the RCMP use are not +p. Nothing the RCMP uses is +p. Pretty much Winchester SXT right across the board.

Please tell me you're joking....

its just what i heard from some ballistics professor. i have no idea if its true so no need to get bent up about it.

 

[wicked_police]

Not getting bent. It was just such an absurd post, I couldn't believe you were serious.
