A handful of Model 12's were still in service when I started in 1987; I was issued a Remington 870, which most of us had. The old 870's and the Model 12's were traded in sometime in the 90's for upgraded 870's. I bought my 870, and still have it today.

If I'm remembering correctly, the traded in Model 12's got snapped up quickly. We were able to buy the weapons through Kiesler's in Jeffersonville.

I'm glad you were able to get it!

They carried the G17 and G21. Your handgun must be in 9mm or 45 ACP. Is your IMPD Glock marked?

IMPD issued the G22 until recently, at which time they switched to the G17. Both the G22s and the G17s will have serial numbers "IM####PD"

I had the opportunity to buy 2 of them from a retired Troop and I wish I had, especially at $280 a piece. But I just got the one.

Madman, my Glocks from IMPD are like that in SN#, and my ISP Glock starts ISP, but without opening the safe nd getting them both out (Yep I am lazy), are they both Glock-22's or is one a G-22, and the other a G-17?

The only two Glocks ISP were issued were the G-17 and then the G-21. We briefly had G-22's, but there was quality issues, and Glock traded the 22's for the 17's. As far as I know. all the Glock 22's went back to Glock and were supposedly destroyed. Of course, that does not mean that maybe some made it out into the wild. If so, they're rare.

My Glock 17 has a serial number of ISP6xxx. I didn't like and did not buy back the 21, and I do not remember the SN.

 

[bloodandgutsmurphy]

Yes, it is.

Does it have any ISP markings?

All the IMPD Glocks I have come across, which is very many, have had the SN format of IM####PD, despite the model of Glock. I'm not sure when they started doing that SN format. I have an IMPD Glock 22, and an IMPD Glock 17M, both with that SN format.

That's what I meant Mad Man, ISPxx marked and IMxxxPD marked, I was wondering are they both G-22's in .40?

No, not that I can see anywhere.

I believe it was previously stated, but the P365’s are marked. Here’s a S&W 66, a P227 and a P365. I’m now looking hard for an ISP marked Beretta 92 or 96 (92 is preferred). If anybody has a lead on one let me know!

IMPD G22's are all .40. I can't speak for ISP, but would imagine they are too.

Thanks MadMan, I will peek inside the safe sometime this month, as I have Michigan Deer Season Vacation coming up.
