No way it will be a 1911, even though it's a better choice than the M9. My bet will be either the HK45, or the P227.
SIG P-227 would be an excellent choice.
Our Troopers can't wait to get the Sigs. The Cadets have them now
The Virginia State Police have been huge fans of their Sigs for years. .357SIG, too.
Our troopers were carrying Beretta 96D's Then they switched to G37 45 GAPS then they recently switched to G21 Gen-4s. And have been having problems with more than a few cracked frames and FTFs.
Now they are getting Sig P227s
We have been carrying Glock 31s for about a year. The rumor mill is abuzz with stories of the Chief considering the allowance of Sig p226, p229s in .357 sig as well.
We shall see
