FBI Issued Firearm
Does anyone know the make and model of the firearm issued to the FBI? I know they are issued .40 cal but am trying to find out which one. I have heard it is Springfield. Thanks in advance!

Do they make this in .40S&W too? Why the heck don't the FBI use .45's?

The FBI does use .45ACP for their SWAT Teams:

Basic agents carry Glock .40S&W, only the highly trained shooting teams such as thier raiding parties, and swat teams get issued the Springfield 1911A1's in .45ACP.
