I taught at FLETC periodically to Recert as a Lead. The BP and Customs ran HK P2000 LEM in 40cal from around 2004 to 2018 when they went to Glock 47’s.Not sure if the Customs and Border Patrol guys were running the LEM P2000s or the DAO versions (non-LEM V5). I think they were running the latter when I was working with one of their classes down at FLETC, but all the articles I see indicate they were running the LEM. It must have been the heavier LEM (v2, maybe?) as I remember the trigger being pretty heavy.
From the mid 1990’s to 2004 ish the BP was issued Beretta DAO in 40 cal (when they came up with that whole Brigadier slide) but could carry approved personal stuff. Customs had smorgasbord of S&W DAO and Glock 17’s
From whenever to around 2002 then US Marshals issued duty gun was a 3” GP 100 with 357 Winchester 145 Silvertip although 90% carried a Agency approved personal gun of about a 50/50 Glock 17/22 or Sig 220/226/228. In 2002 they went to 100% issued Glock 22 in 40 and now run Glock 17/19 wit Red Dot and Hornady Critical duty 135 plus p (basically the FBI stuff) the USMS SOG is running Staccato
