In 1967 they began issuing the S&W Model 39 and all troopers carried this until 1999 when they switched the the Glock 22. Good gosh, why did it take so many other agencies so long to switch over? It couldn't have been a reliability issue, as the S&W 39's ran pretty good from what I've read. Probably just too much beauracracy in the various departments. Love mine. Not a jam yet. Cool classic, too.
