I thought that I heard that at least USSS was going to go to a 9mm and get away from the .357SIG cartridge.

9mm going into a 10mm funnel... makes sense.
I wonder if those who own and shoot Tokarevs and cz52's see the same effect.
Them and FAMS are transitioning now. G19 or 26.
Glock 19 is a great all-around gun.
We should have had those since 2001. The 229 was the worst gun for the job.

Do you have a Glock 22 or 23? If yes, just add a .357 Sig barrel and you're in business.
As stated upthread, if you reload, .357 Sig kicks ass. Buying commercial ammo is $$$

I just sold a 229 to an agent in the SS and he stated he wanted to carry the same weapon at home he carries on the job and he also said he gets the ammo for free. Not sure if he was BSing or not.
Add G27 to that list. Grab a G33 factory barrel and you're in business
The bold doesn't make sense. An Agent or uniform division guys can carry their issue weapon off duty. As a matter of fact, it doesn't make sense to carry an identical approved off duty carry pistol that's the same as your issued one, because you have to qualify with that off duty weapon, regardless if it's the same make and model.
You sure he was a USSS Agent?
Yep. They can't get "all they want". But they can't get "all they want". Typically after range days, they hand out a box or 2. Just depends. A lot of guys end up having a hoard of ammo in retirement because they really don't shoot outside of work.
I "managed" a sh*t ton of ammo.

Yeah. Doesn't make sense at all about the off duty carry thing.\
All kinds of bullshitters out there.
I saw a P229 for sale on one of those gun buying consignment sites with the seller saying it was an actual Air Marshal pistol that he bought from the agency when he left.
The agency never let us buy any of our issued pistols. I e mailed the website admin/owner and told him, so he removed the ad.

And I always thought a Glock 36 would have been a better choice for the job. I haven't shot a G30SF but that might be a good choice as well.
Funny thing about those baby Glocks, when they came available for off duty, few were having a hard time qualifying with those little things. People will have issues with 25 yards with the 26 if they choose it.

I have heard the same thing about all bottle neck pistol cartidges.
Same reason behind the NAA rounds. Like the .32 NAA, .380 case necked to .32

I've seen a lot of this. Worst yet was the small Springfield XD single stack in .40.
Thread is motivating me to take my Glock 32 to the range. For me, it was one of those guns you buy used and love after the first range session (like my used S&W Model 64).
I remember telling Inkd about this purchase. The firearm cost, the shipping cost, and the transfer cost. He quickly shot back to me that the total was coincidentally $357, lol. Pretty neat.
Old, crappy pic below. It's a Gen 3, trade-in with still working night sights.

I'm thinking about getting a 357 Sig barrel for my Glock 23 now. Just because I can
