Detectives usually have more flex as far as what they carry. Our dept was that way. If they put on a uniform they carry the standard issue.
Kahrs used to be on the approved NYPD carry list, hence that horrible NY trigger that no longer exist.
I also vividly recall the episode where his sister was taken hostage in the courtroom. Danny comes to the rescue bringing them a car and telling the guy he's done every thing he asked. Then used the Reagan secret code "Don't hurt my family" when he pulled a 1911 out of the front fender well as his sister jerked away and Danny shot him. Pretty cool trick on that one, loved the secret code. Even Frank voiced the words as he watched it somehow on video.
Only plan me and the missus have is she always walks on my left, stays away from my strong side. Also common knowledge that I generally shoot slightly left under pressure so in a hostage situation, she knows to break right or her left, just as a caution.
Guess it's just a hope for the best, plan for the worst life we live in. Doubt I'll ever have to draw my weapon as long as I live but I sure ain't leaving it at home.
