ISP Glock 17's Available soon

[troopjones]

Starting today all Indiana Troopers will begin to transition to the Glock 21 from the Glock 17. The Troopers will be allowed to buy back their G17 if they want, but those that do not want them will be available to purchase from Kiesler Police Supply. I don't know what the price will be for them at this time.

Probaly more than their worth.

Really depends, if you find ones that were overstock they are still brand new, i forgot to mention in original post most have ISPXXXX serial numbers

Well that is good news...when I had originally been told ISP was switching sidearms I was informed that the Glock 17s were going to be unavailable for individual officer purchase. This was apparently in reference to these guns being earmarked for another out-of-country contract.

Yeah, i want to buy all my duty weapons back, no matter how much i disliked some.

I'd be up for one if they are in decent condition and they aren't being sold for 50 bucks less than a brand new one.

So I take it you are not a fan of the 9mm?

 

[gregkl]

I am interested. How do I find out about getting one?

I am fine carrying a 9mm, I was refeering to the Beretta .380 i was issued as a BUG years ago.

I dont get too hung up on the round we carry, i always say you need to be able to hit the target to stop the threat, versus spray and pray.

i dont care what condition the tool is in, id be in for one if the price is decent

I would call them, they should have details on price and when they will be available. (I have no affiliation with Kieslers)

Yeah I don't blame you...I always questioned the wisdom of ISP issuing those .380 Berettas. Did you have any issues with the Glock 22 you were issued years ago? I have heard somewhat mixed reviews from the troops in our area.

I, along with most of the troops at my district, had little to no issues with it. We were told of lots of problems at other locations. Not sure if it was a batch problem, or what. Never heard the final determination from our higher up's.

Hmmm, I'd be interested in one of those. The ISP s/n would pretty sweet to have. thanks for the heads up.

Well that is good to hear, I have carried the Glock 23 on duty for nearly 12 years and have never had any type of problems with it. Any insight as to why ISP chose the .45...is it just because of the past issues they had with the .40?

Im not sure, i know our firearms Inst. tested 6 or so guns all in .45, some of those were:
Glock 21
S&W MMP
Sig ?
Springfield XD

But I have not seen the data from testing or why we chose the Glock.

I am sure you will be happy with the Glock, I was just curious as to why ISP administration seems to focusing on the .45 round. As I understand it you guys are also going to be provided a list of approved carry firearms. Is that going to be instead of the Glock 21, or is it going to be in addition to it (for example BUG/Off Duty Firearms)?
