New NYPD officers are supplied with modified Glock 17 Gen 4 pistols for duty while the bulk of veteran officers carry older Glock 19 pistols.<\/p>\n<p>If officers want to &#8220;upgrade&#8221; to the newer Glock 17 they will have to pay the $525 themselves. The Glock 17 is the original full-size service pistol while the Glock 19 is the smaller compact size service pistol.<\/p>\n<p>New recruits are issued a duty pistol for free once they are sworn in. They have the choice of carrying a Glock 17, a Glock 19 or a SIG P226. It seems that most now are picking the Glock 17.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the improved Gen 4 features, the Glock 17 has a longer slide and barrel assembly. This improves projectile ballistics and provides users with a longer sight radius which makes it easier to place precise shots.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/leaked-photos-gen-5-glock-17m\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nypd-veterans-rookies-glock-duty-pistols\" title=\"NYPD Veterans Want Rookies' Better, Newer Glock Duty Pistols\">Check out These Leaked Photos of \u2018Gen 5\u2019 Glock 17M<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The fourth generation models add several important ergonomic improvements including a reduced grip size in order to fit a wider range of user hand sizes. The grips can also be customized with interchangeable backstraps. Glock also enlarged the magazine release button and made it reversible for left-handed users. Additionally, these guns have an improved recoil spring assembly for a smoother recoil impulse.<\/p>\n<p>Inspector Raymond Caroli, commander of the NYPD firearms and tactics section <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2016\/11\/28\/nypd-vets-upset-rookies-get-better-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nypd-veterans-rookies-glock-duty-pistols\" title=\"NYPD Veterans Want Rookies' Better, Newer Glock Duty Pistols\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told the New York Post<\/a> &#8220;It\u2019s the ergonomics of this gun &#8230; that makes this a better gun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the Glock 17 can help us shoot better, that increases our safety,&#8221; said another officer. &#8220;I personally believe the department should help out in paying for the new gun, or, at least, provide an even swap. Not everybody has $525 on hand to make a purchase like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Glock 17 also has a longer grip than the Glock 19 which helps shooters with bigger hands control the gun. Normally it also provides improved capacity but things are a little different in the NYPD.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/fbi-awards-glock-with-85-million-contract-for-9mm-pistols\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nypd-veterans-rookies-glock-duty-pistols\" title=\"NYPD Veterans Want Rookies' Better, Newer Glock Duty Pistols\">FBI Awards Glock with $85 Million Contract for 9mm Pistols<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The NYPD requires limited-capacity Glock 17 magazines that only hold 15 rounds. Standard Glock 17 mags hold 17 rounds of ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Half the class laughed when the instructor said that,&#8221; said one NYPD officer. &#8220;Good ol\u2019 NYPD, they\u2019re restricting us yet again, only handing out the 15 option.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why would you select a firearm that can hold 17 rounds, but then only allow 15 to be carried? It defies common sense. Officers may need those rounds if they find themselves in an active-shooter situation like Dallas or Orlando.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Citizens of New York also have a magazine capacity restriction among other onerous gun control laws they must abide. Magazine capacity is limited to 10 rounds for the state&#8217;s residents and visitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New NYPD officers are supplied with modified Glock 17 Gen 4 pistols for duty while the bulk of veteran officers carry older Glock 19 pistols. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":66572,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25,111,461,36,240],"tags":[187,132,301,617,607,836],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-66531","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-current-events","8":"category-industry-news","9":"category-max-slowik","10":"category-reviews-pistols","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-9mm","13":"tag-buzz","14":"tag-glock","15":"tag-industry-news","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-nypd"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NYPD Veterans Want Rookies&#039;
