I have decided to participate in our Sheriff's Reserve program. I feel that I need to do something for the community and this is what I feel is right. So far I have been told that I have a choice of a Sig P226, Glock 17/19 or a .357 revolver. I don't like the idea of carrying a revolver. Problem is I can't stand the grips on Sig's and Glocks. But in your esteemed opinions, which should I choose? And which model of the P226 should I look at?

Of those options, I would unquestionably go with the Sig. And then I would start lobbying for XDs!!!

I, myself, would take the revolver. The chances of a reserve being in a firefight are slim to none, although in a firefight a .357 can make a hell of an impact. Also there is something nostalgic and classy about a sixgun in a cop's holster. Just a thought.

Around here Reserves are required to ride along at least 20 hours a month. They ride with full time deputies for traffic duty and calls and whatnot. I'd say chances are good around here, it's New Orleans north baby

SIG 226R if you have to purchase the weapon, just replace the stock grips with the Houge and you'll be gtg.
