39-2

Police handguns
Before the 90s were any American police officers issued with an M1911 or Smith & Wesson 39???
- The Illinois State police adopted the Model 39 in the late 60's making them one of the first U.S. law enforcement agencies to use auto pistols, but I think they replaced it after only a few years.
What about the M1911, or were they only given to the FBI and SWAT team???
