Duty Arms IndexGlock vs SIG Sauer: which do police use?
Data coverage: Based on 711 agencies in the Duty Arms Index with a current, sourced primary duty pistol entry (SWAT and 1033 surplus excluded; entries naming the maker but not the model count toward the brand). Switches use agencies with both a sourced previous and current primary pistol. Counts include only current entries with a public source; agencies not yet in the index, or without a sourced entry for this item, are not counted, so treat shares as a picture of the Duty Arms Index, not of every U.S. agency. Data last updated Oct 10, 2026.
