The standard issue sidearm of US forces during the time of Desert Storm was the semi-automatic Beretta M9 pistol. Semi automatic pistols have been the standard for US sidearms since 1911, although the .38 caliber revolvers continued to appear well into the Korean War, and there are some instances of them appearing in Vietnam, as well.
Some embassy security forces use a .357 revolver as their sidearm, but no revolver is service issue in any combat unit.
