Re: Who sells to LE Organizations?
On the Fed level, the agencies contract directly with the manufacturer. In turn, the manufacturer trains several members of each using unit as armorers. My own outfit was the Border Patrol and at one time they were issuing S&W, Ruger and Colt products (all revolvers). Each Sector had at least two agents trained as armorers for each brand. That all changed when the standard issue sidearm became the Beretta 96D; it simplified matters. Now that the Italian Tomahawk has been discarded, the Border Patrol has maintained its love affair with another European product.
