When the FBI was authorized to carry firearms in the 1930s, what revolver was chosen as their standard sidearm? I know the .38 Special was carried by many agents, but I am uncertain which make and model was the first selected to equip their agents. Yes, J. Edgar Hoover, then the head of the FBI, received one of the first S & W Model 27s back then, but I do not believe this was the official sidearm. Thanks for the information.
