Are agents allowed to purchase and use their own weapons or is there a department standard the all agents must use?
What about police departments? I see detectives use several different types of hand guns within the same department on TV, is that true to form of just TV writers' imaginations?

The Glock model 22, .40 caliber is the standard issued weapon. The F.B.I. Hostage Rescue Team ( a S.W.A.T. type unit) uses the Springfield model 1911 in .45 caliber. Unless they have recently changed.
