When was it that law enforcement agencies nationwide began switching over from revolvers to semi-automatic pistols? Late 80's, early 90's?
Why did it take so long? Semi's such as the 1911 were around way before then. Was it a reliability issue with earlier semi's?
They didn’t want guys carrying a single action, is what I was told. Stress= accidental discharges…
Not everyone is a shootist.
