I believe I heard that a particular SWAT department in California has M16 in burst

I'm sure there are plenty of Police Departments all over the USA that still have the M16A2 in it's original select fire configuration.

Does LAPD still use .243 bolt guns?

I'd be kind of surprised if any of them used M16s at all, considering the M16 is too long for SWAT uses.

I think they use them for sniping. Which is pretty weird.

The M16 is roughly the length of most Assault Rifles.

I think I'd go with the 4506. It's a classic. The only problem is it isn't made anymore . My second choice is the Beretta 92FS. I also think the Kimber is excellent, but obviously, I'd only use it if I were SWAT.

Ain't the 4506-1 version still being made?

No. Most of the metal-framed S&W pistols from the 90s are out of production. If they weren't, my 4506-1 wouldn't be in such high demand.
