Quiz on a firearm

Military Police carried the 1911A1 in 1924. Does that count?

I was thinking along those lines, too. DOES it count?

Not to get off topic but I think it’s hilarious USAF OSI told big AF to get bent and adopted Gen 5 Glock 19’s because of the Sig M18 debacle. Good for them.

I remember learning about the cut down 1911’s OSI ran but never saw one in The wild. I started in 1986 and know they snagged the Sig M11/228 early on when Sig introduced them around 1989 ish

I carried an OSI M11 for over 20 years.

The Glock mafia at FLETC swayed the choice from the SIG. They were biased against the P320/M18 from the start. Anyway, they have to issue something but agents can now carry their choice from an approved list.

Thanks to the ISP going to 9mm policemen I know wanted to get the new wonder nines for off duty carry.
The county sheriff said the only firearms that would be allowed on or off duty will be .38/357 revolvers.
That's how I bought my model 59 from a deputy who said if he can't carry it he don't want it.
Bought it for $175.00 and still have it.

I know the Park Service and some DHS HSI 1811’s carry some flavor of the 320 so FLETC hasn’t completely got agencies away from SIGs.

I know even the USAF Security Forces have had some issues with the M18 wether it’s exaggerated out of proportion…probably egos can do that

Remember old days, DEA agents revolvers had to be 6 shots, not 5 rounds

J frames were easier to conceal but would not hold up over the long haul to high round count training regimens.
