Well, the Glock 22 is a great pistol any way you look at it, though I might go with an extended mag release if I can. I don't think I'd regret that purchase! I was also going to get a training session from a local former RCMP officer who offered. Didn't think it could be that much different from th...

Can anyone tell me what the Edmonton Police uses as it's service pistol? I've recently put in my application, and although I have my RPAL, I still haven't purchased a handgun.
