General Officer Pistols

The General Officer Pistol Program began during World War II and continues to this day. Army and Air Force Generals are issued a pistol that they can buy when they retire.


I am always looking for:


Colt .380 & 32 caliber pocket hammerless 

RIA GO Model 1911 (Only 1004 made)

Air Force Smith & Wesson Model 39

Air Force revolvers (Some generals chose revolvers in the 1960s and 70s)

Army/Air Force Beretta GO M9s. 

Historic United States military rifles/pistols


Note: I am not a firearms dealer. I have to do the transfer through an FFL in Maryland. I fill out all State and Federal paperwork and go through the Maryland State Police seven day waiting period and background check. You will get a receipt and there will be a clear transfer.  


To learn more about the history of the GO pistol program, check out my article, General Protection: Sidearms Carry Rich History Among Top Commanders in the September 2018  issue of Army Magazine.
