“Reload” is what makes it real.

But is there an American police issue weapon with 8 shots 🤔

Many police can and do carry their own firearms. I could see a rural or just general chud cop carrying a 1911, which is 7+1.

Wikipedia lists some use by SWAT and such but it doesn't mention any normal police use in the US.
