Have never seen any revolvers. Gendarmes and Customs all have semi-autos. One I spoke to a couple of days ago had a Sig Sauer, but I am sure that one who came to my house one time had a Glock. I live in a rural area, so I can't comment on what they have in large towns, but whenever I leave France or return Customs have semi-autos in the ports/ferry terminals.
