Despite the myth of the constablutory being armed with but a baton and whistle, DC's in the United Kingdom have been issued and carry sidearms for a considrable time. In the early post WWII era favourites of the London Metropolitan force were Enfield .38-200's and the larger Webley .455. In the present day the favourites are the H&K 9mm. Our lady detectives are very keen on the Llama .380.
