Who uses 1911? (i.e. LAPD SWAT, FBI HRT)

[Rival]

What official organizations still issue 1911-type sidearms today?

 

[Chupacabra]

The Tacoma Police Department issues the Kimber Pro Carry.

 

[PBIR]

United States Marine Corps Force Recon.

 

[Damon]

FBI SWAT

 

[Ala Dan]

SA semi auto's were outlawed in my old department in 1995.

*SA as in single-action, not Springfield Armory.

Shmackey,

Are you part of Ninja Force? I know they issue the 1911.

 

[Shmackey]

Are you part of Ninja Force?

SHHHHHHH!

I saw a Houston motorcycle cop with 1911 cocked and locked, also saw several (I believe they were) US Customs agents with 1911s, and one cop in the airport with a Hi-Power.

Whitehall Township PD, in Whitehall PA.

 

[Tom Servo]

Here in Georgia, they're optional for Fulton County Marshalls, and most counties authorize them for detectives.

 

[Chuck Perry]

PA State Constables are permited to carry them. I'll be qualifying with mine again this October. One in 10mm, another in 45

If they existed, US Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta would use custom 1911s as well as every other toy in the book. If they existed.

Very true. And if they existed, they just might also carry Glock 19's loaded with Glock 17 magazines.
