I think I've seen the pics of Wikipedia of the Montreal Tactical Team using Five-seveNs as well but it's Wikipedia so I can't confirm that definitively
I'm taking the Police Studies course at Grant Macewan then I'll probably be going EPS as well.

I think the tactical units have a different set of guidelines, along with their standard firearms, but I could be wrong in that. A Five-seveN would be a brilliant firearm, but Canada doesn't like 5.7 too much, unfortunately.

I plan on doing so once I can afford to do so, but until then, airsoft. I can spend 1/4 of the money, and get to use it at more than just a range. And, I can also setup a range in my basement with airsoft, and not have to worry about punching through 8" of concrete. Just a few layers of styrofoam, and I'm good to go.
And, I'm not buying airsoft for ONLY that reason, and if I've given that impression, I apologize - I do play as well, I'd just like to get the most out of my airsoft experience, if that makes sense.
