No. The AutoLock is a beast to carry, and I already own it. All of the ASPs I have had broke on one of the taper locks. The AutoLock uses loaded ball bearings,IIRC three per shaft, so nine total to lock it in the open positition. I have used and abused it for a decade and a half, and still have enough confidence in it that I have no problem opening negotiations with a pool cue jab.

I need to replace my SL20 (aluminum body, high output incandescent, low output LEDs) since it went TU a while back. The poly bodied lights suck. LED/rechargeable Maglight is in the running, but I keep finding other shiny things to take my uniform allowance, since I have so many other lights to use. Next year's uniform allowance is going to a suppressor for my patrol rifle.

I've got a stack of broken Autolocks in a locker. They break. We replace them with Peacekeepers.
Getting back to the actual uniforms, I don't think the regional nature can be over-stated. For eastern city/suburban types, the dark blue wool/poly uniform with bus-driver style hat is the traditional. Out west things are different- I went to a training with a Wyoming game warden and their tradition was much more practical for what they do, plus it seems culturally acceptable for the region:
