FBI and the G23

[STEVE M]

Can some one tell me what year the FBI started using the Glock 23? Did

they state any reasons for the switch, and/or have they made any

comments about it's performance in the field. Do they still authorize and or

issue it?


(I'm trying to write a paper about why my security company should allow us to carry Glocks.)

Circa 1997-98 after what the FBI claims was an extensive tasting program. Actually it's both the Glock 22 and Glock 23.

Tasting Program

I think the Glocks are tastier, myself, but the Sigs make better gravy.

The 22 and 23 are still the primary sidearms issued to agents and according to a friend in the Bureau, they love them.

Thanks guys, any more information anyone?

must be because they

don't know any better .most of them never even had a gun on person till the great shootout of 87 with platz and matrix if i rember there names might have spelled them wrong but i rember it .they went to a thing they called weapons craft and made them shoot there gun not just leave them in the car,thanks,keith

Name a gun and caliber and someone "important" somewhere is using it.

All kidding aside, the glocks has an easier manual of arms to deal with, than most other semi-auto available. Its simple, reliable and effective (maybe cheaper too).
