Very interesting...

Were there other privately-owned, Bureau-approved gun(s), (arguably back-ups?) that come to mind? Would a Charter Arms have qualified?

One would imagine the choices today would be pretty well-populated (Shields, GX4, Mako, SIG P365, MAX-9, small 380acp automatics, etc.) if the same kind of program is still in effect...?

CHEERS!
