    I qualified with my 642 again yesterday, just for the fun of it, so wheelies are alive and well in Federal LE too (at least for another 2.5 years - I'm the last guy in my Field Office with a revolver...)

    We had an very small percentage stay with revolvers once 9mm was approved. For the guys who didn't GAF about guns or shooting nothing changed except what was in their holster.

    Psalm's post reminded me to add revolvers are authorized for off duty carry but not duty carry here. The last few were grandfathered.
