SWAT/HRT agents are issued a SA 1911. They do not have to carry it however (might be required for call-outs - never asked about that). They can still carry their issued weapon (Sig or Glock), or an authorized personally owned weapon (G21 is on that short list). Most of the SWAT agents I work with do carry their 1911s all the time, but I have a few friends that choose G22s, G23s for day to day work and the 1911 for call-outs.
FWIW, one of our SWAT teams dumped their 1911s for G21s. But, they have had continual problems with the G21s.
