When did the police stop using revolvers?

I was rewatching “The Silence of the Lambs” and noticed the police officers were still using revolvers.
A quick google search says “early 90’s” as the general answer. The film was released in 1991 so it’s probably one of the last major films released to show police officers armed with revolvers
I imagine there was a long transition period - big cities transitioning first and maybe rural departments taking awhile
Got something to say?
