Latest from LAPD:

"Our Police Commission is about to approve the Glock pistol for the LAPD. It is a forgone conclusion. The chief wants them. We'll have 9mm, .40S&W, and .45 ACP. Officer's choice. Our department firearms instructors have already gone through a Glock transition course.

The official round will be Winchester/Ranger.

Officers will have the option of retaining their Beretta 92Fs, but the majority are expected to make the switch."

Comment: It will be interesting to see how many make the switch and how fast.
