Odd question:
On average, in service use, by say state or county police, how long would a modern issue pistol be serviceable?
I see occasionally some department or the other is replacing their pistols wholesale.
Why would a department change out the entire force at once?
Are they changed out because they're worn out?
Because they've become unreliable?
Caliber change? (I'd guess that may be a prime factor)
Safer?
More reliable?
I know in trucks and cars, fleet maintenance is very different than individual ownership.
How different is managing the maintenance and replacement programs in an arsenal?
