Brig. Gen. Alric Francis receives the general officer's pistol from his son during his promotion ceremony on February 21, 2024, at Fort Bliss, Texas. Since 1972, the manufacturer of the Army’s standard service revolver produces a special issue for general officers. Under the provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code, active-duty general officers are issued a model M-17, 9mm general officer pistol on a loan basis. The pistols are procured exclusively for general officers, the serial numbers are prefixed with “G-O", and are unique to each general officer. The loan of the pistol is valid until retirement from active duty, at which time the general officer can purchase the weapon or return it. If returned, the pistol is destroyed.
