It would be safe to say the answer is in each of our safes.
The Kimber were actually issued short term to the MEUSOC units

What do they carry on the Battlestar Galactica? :-)

I'm sure there are a few around even here that may have been in shootouts and survived, thankfully.
Is that the typical cop's experience? Probably not, but they still get training that the rest of us don't.

Perhaps my post was vague, but a battle sidearm would be full size, the 26 might be better a backup meaning not the first choice. I wouldn't mind having it of something happened to the main sidearm. Perhaps an ankle holster like in the movies, lol.
SF can bring their own weapons. They run a little differently. He has been happy with his Kimber. It has some miles on it.
My Team 5 friend uses a P228.
OP's scenario was vague and arguably nonsensical. There is no such thing as a "battle sidearm". You go to war with a rifle. Any pistol you may be packing is at best a second thought, and more likely dead weight that you could have used for more rifle mags. This made the thread a delightful target to troll with that very thought.
Now, if OP had said "your choice of a military service pistol", we'd have a more interesting conversation, but it still would have devolved down into people pimping their favorite pistols regardless of whether they're sensible as service weapons.

M9. I carried it for almost 30 years. Never an issue. Good mags. Goes off when you need it to. Carried it in every climate you could think of and it always worked. Cant ask for more than that.
