I have a Glock .40 that I would dearly love to bring when I actually get deployed (which probably will be over a year) but nevertheless the question has been bugging me since I've started my creature comfort list (I want to get a good thigh holster if I'll be allowed to bring my Glock). If by any chance I've missed the appropriate thread I apologize in advance, as I used the search function to the best of my ability.

Putting aside the legality of bringing a POW with you on deployment; how do you plan on getting ammunition for that pistol? Its a nice weapon, I've got one myself, but say you need to get resupplied on ammunition at some point. You're not much of an asset to the team with an empty pistol. Think about how to contribute to the team. It makes no difference what pistol you have. Spend your time shooting and doing pt. It will be more useful than being the one guy with a .40.
