As a 30 year cop(now retired) I want nothing to do with this type pistol. Depending on what you are doing it is easy to hold your pistol in a variety of slightly different ways. Also, we were taught to shoot with the weak hand in the event our strong hand/arm was injured. Further, the point of conformity as to pistol type and ammo within a dept. is so that any cop can use any other cop's weapon in a pinch.
Last but not least the more complex an item, the more there is to go wrong with it. No big deal when you are at the range. It's a big deal when it's $hi!!en and agitten time.
