Subject: DG: Sargent D is coming... with still more on agent armament
I dug out some info on the .45ACP Les Baer SRP (Swift Response Pistol), which
was adopted by the FBI HRT in 1995. It is a highly customised M1911A1 clone
built on a Para-Ordnance frame, with all the standard features: beveled magazine
well for faster reloads, tritium nightsights, extreme accuracy and reliablity.
It has a 10-round magazine.
Like I wrote previously, it was replaced in 1998 by another M1911A1 clone, the
.45ACP Springfield BUREAU model, which makes identical claims, but has an
8-round magazine.
I don't quite see why the Springfield weapon would be better, but the HRT
probably knows what they are doing.
Sargent D, over-and-out
