FBI Pistol

[Sinixstar]

remember, he's new. it might be fun/interesting "cause i can" the first time. I never asked.

Once he has to deal with a few airport numskulls he'll change his mind.
Uncle was telling me a funny story about flying once. Filled out the paperwork for his guns, go over it all. Woman behind the desk or whatever asks him if he has any other weapons on him. He says "well yea, I have my knife" (he carries a pocket knife regularly, just because, well, it's a good thing to have).
Lady looks at him dead serious. "you can't take a knife on a plane, that's a security risk".

meanwhile - he just filled out paperwork for, and had a conversation about, carrying a Glock 21 on his person, on the plane.

He had to get the supervisor to come over. When she explained to the supervisor that he has a knife - he looked at her and said "and you realize he has a gun too, right?"

You would think once you get to a certain level, some of the ignorance would go away - but, no.

From answers.com

Firearms are issued in the 4th to 6th week of the FBI Academy. New agents are issued either a Glock 22 or 23, depending on inventory in stock, their preference, and input from their Primary Firearms Instructor. Some trainees are issued a Glock 17 or 19, if they are experiencing issues with recoil from the .40 caliber round.

This is correct.

A friend just graduated from Quantico in April. They were issued a G19.

The SA Professional model is currently issued to the FBI SWAT or HRT team (I can't remember which). Shortly after awarding the contract to SA, the FBI modified the requirement to a SA Professional model equipped with a rail.

It is a very tight and nice pistol.

Last I heard it was the Glock 23. But that was a while back. Their Hostage Rescue Teams had 1911s back then as well. That was 4 or 5 years ago. Sounds like not much has changed.

the SA Pro was originally spec'd for their SWAT members. HRT originally spec'd the custom Para-Ord. the Para-Ords didn't hold up and they switched over to the SWAT pistols...they are still having some problems, but they brought in Steve Nastoff to consult on a fix

I also heard G22 and G23. 1911's for FBI SWAT teams.

G22's for Special Agents

Springfield Professional for regional SWAT and the HRT. I met a FBI SWAT member a few years ago and he was shooting a G22 in addition to his Professional and an HK MP5/10 (though I don't think they use the MP5/10's anymore).

USSS can also carry the FN Five-Seven, but I don't know how many actually do.

i thought it was a glock 22 40.....i had also hear sig somewhere too

This for sure. I know personally as a close friend of mine has a brother in law (Whom I know well!) who is an FBI agent. He carries a G22.

I've noticed local FBI uses G23 with a G27 as a B.U.G.
