I have been asked to compile, as well as possible, information on who is currently using the 1911 in an official capacity today. I know about the FBI hostage team and I know about LAPD SWAT. Beyond that, if any LEOs are in or know of agencies that either issue, or authorize the carry of, the 1911 ... I would greatly appreciate a PM with the statistics.
What I would need to know is, name and location of agency (naturally); is the 1911 agency issue, and if so is it the only issue duty weapon, or one of a couple or more options; if it is authorized but the officer must provide his/her own 1911, is it authorized for uniform duty carry, plainclothes concealed carry, or only for off-duty carry? Or is it only for special units, like SWAT?
If your agency issues or authorizes the 1911, do you carry cocked-and-locked, or some other mode? Does the agency care?
Is any 1911 allowed, or is the authorization limited to certain brands?
Many thanks in advance
