There SWAT unit supposedly did. Read that 2 that got shot in the Miami shoot out where packing 459's

Yes that was 1986.

My PD had 59s and when the Gen 2 came out they bought 659s. Some old timers wanted blue but they had to buy the 459 on their own dime. 469 and 669 were approved for off duty carry.

A lot of Agencies issued the 459 and 659. So I don't think it's a FBI pistol but from another Agency. Also most Agencies allowed officers to buy their own duty pistols in the 1980s.
