Since they are not military, FBI agents are civilians also. Sometimes I think they forget in light of the quasi-military type "rules of engagement" and HRT and all sorts of cross training (contamination) with military special operations types. FBI agents are civilians, and the agency is a CIVILIAN law enforcement agency. Sorry to make a big deal about this, but the sooner they (and we) understand it is not an "us and them" scenario, the better off we will all be.

I found all 3 in a gunshop in NY years ago. They now belong to forum member 29-1, and the Missus.
A little behind the story. I was in said gunshop picking up another handgun at the time. The owners son said "look at what just came in, a guy dropped off some FBI guns". He had 3 of them together. I took a look, only one had wood grips and one of them had "pushoff", and all had the look of "being there", as I recall. Being broke at he time, and having just bought a whole slew of guns, I left the shop. There was a discussion on the foum about FBI guns at that time, and I dropped in to say "if anyone is looking for an FBI gun, PM me". The only guy to respond was Chuck Odom(who lives/lived some 1 hour from the shop), whose wife is FBI, and he wanted to know where they were. I gave him the info, he called the shop and they were still there. I "think" he may have called Roy Jinks with serial numbers to verify that in fact they were FBI guns. They were, Chuck bought all 3.
I was glad to help him get these guns, and don't regret a thing.
Here's the thread:
Price check m13's, FBI guns?

yea that would be me...sorry about that. 25 years in the army and 6 in the reserves kind of deadens the brain cells. I stand humbly apologetic. The wife still hits me when I call her a civilian.

I don't really care about titles, but if you want to check the dictionary:
Quote:
ci·vil·ian [si-vil-yuhn] Show IPA
noun
1.
a person who is not on active duty with a military, naval, police, or fire fighting organization.
