Equipment
As of January 2018, New York State Troopers are issued the Glock 21 Gen4 chambered in
.45 ACP as the
service pistol. New York State Troopers previously used the
Glock 37 chambered in
.45 GAP from 2007 to 2018. The New York State Police used the Glock 17 from 1990 to 2007, the Glock 17 replaced the
Smith & Wesson Model 686 (NYSP issued the Model 681).
[13] The Glock 37 was chosen after the shooting death of Trooper Andrew Sperr in
Chemung County on March 1, 2006. The Glock 37 was chosen because it has the .45 caliber ballistics but in the smaller Glock 17 frame.

History of NYPD Sidearms
1993
Semi-Automatic Pistols in 9mm and .38 Special Revolvers
Nearly a century after the department first issued a sidearm to its officers, it mandated (after much debate among department officials, unions, and legislators) that the NYPD would officially switch from revolvers to semi-auto handguns chambered in 9mm, mostly to bring the department in line with the types of firearms they had to contend with on the street and with other federal agencies and large police departments.
For several years, officers were able to choose from the double-action only S&W Model 5946, the Glock 17, and the SIG-Sauer P226, while the Ruger and S&W revolvers were grandfathered in for officers who prefer to carry them, but that's all changing soon.
2018
Semi-Automatic Pistols in 9mm Only
A
recent interdepartmental memo from the NYPD Commissioner states that revolvers and their equipment will be “discontinued for service use” after August 31, 2018. Officers will be required to go through a 3-day transition course to semi-automatic pistols. After completion of the course, they will have three semi-automatics to choose from: Glock 17 Gen4, Glock 19 Gen4, or the Sig Sauer P226 DAO.
