Custom weapons?

[xynder]

Are cops allowed to bring their own weapons? For instance, I have a .44 Magnum engraved with the word "Peacemaker" along the barrel.

The .44 is not really a good police weapon. The ability to carry a custom weapon would depend on the agency. Hope this helps.

Not exactly the ideal weapon to show the jury when you are involved in a shooting or civil lawsuit.

Only as a backup weapon with my agency. This will vary by agency.

We are issued a duty weapon which is the only duty weapon we are allowed to carry. If we want to carry a backup weapon, it must be in the same caliber ( .40) as the main weapon. We are required to qualify twice per year.

Off duty, I can carry whatever I want.

And a .44 would not make a good duty weapon, to much recoil. This isn't " Dirty Harry ".

no offense, but read the question again..........ok done? now ask yourself if you really think somone would let you carry that. ;) it will probably depend on the agency, but i seriously doubt its gonna happen.
