the last revolver issued was the smith & wesson model 586 .357 magnum revolver. the sig sauer p220 .45 auto was the first semi-automatic pistol carried by the agency in 1991 until it was replaced in 1998 by the glock 21 .45 auto pistol. in 2009, the agency was one of the first in the united states to adopt the glock "sf" (sf, short frame) series sidearms (the other state agency to adopt the glock 21sf shortly after would be the nebraska state patrol who still uses them) and the agency chose the glock 21sf .45 to replace then eleven-year-old glock 21 pistols that replaced the sig sauer p220. the glock 21sf was first issued with a standard level 1 or level 2 high gloss leather holster, but would adopt the safariland 6360 level 3 holsters in around 2013–2014. in late 2018, the patrol transitioned to 9mm with the glock 17 gen 5 carried in a safariland 6360 level 3 holster. the transition to 9mm was based upon federal bureau of investigation testing showed advances in ballistics technology made modern 9mm ammunition more accurate with more stopping power. turnpike troopers, however, continue to carry the sig-sauer p226 .40 s&w sidearms purchased by the kansas turnpike authority.
