Greensboro, NC Police Department Chooses Glock as Official Duty Weapon
SMYRNA, Ga. – -(AmmoLand.com)- Nov 12, 2018 GLOCK, Inc. is pleased to announce that Greensboro Police Department in North Carolina has selected GLOCK as their sidearm of choice.
The list of agencies who put their trust in GLOCK pistols is continuing to grow as local and state agencies trade in their current competitor pistols for the newest generation of GLOCKs. Since the development of the commercial version of the GLOCK M pistol used by the FBI, the 5th Generation of GLOCK pistols has been the focus of interest among the majority of the transitioning departments.
The Greensboro Police Department has 700 sworn officers who protect their community of over 290,000 residents. Greensboro recently transitioned from Sig Sauer P320 to the GLOCK 19 Gen5 with Ameriglo BOLD sights.
*The Greensboro Police Department has had a great experience with our recent GLOCK handgun transition, said Greensboro Chief of Police Wayne Scott, *I believe this product works well for our officers and our community.* Greensboro PD has fully outfitted their department with new duty pistols and is confident in the platform.

Is there a reason why the 19 instead of 17

I suppose personal choice same as NYPD. The G17 is most common for Uniformed Officers with G19 for Plain Clothes and G34 is quite popular with SWAT Teams.

Good for them. The P320 is a fine pistol (I have about 4,000 rounds through mine), but holy hell is the trigger group a pain to disassemble and reassemble. In comparison, the Glock can be stripped and reassembled by a blind squirrel with a twig.
