There may be some local rules or something, but I’m not aware of any of those. In fact, my own BANK doesn’t even have armed guards.

I posted a link to the CO Spgs rules above. There's NOTHING in 'em about revolvers-only.

Yeah, I saw it. There’s apparently something in the Colorado Springs ordinances though, based on what some of the downtown offices are saying. I haven’t had time to call the Clerk and Recorder on this today, perhaps this afternoon.

But, apparently the rules were written some years back, perhaps in the late 80s or so, and semiautomatics weren’t as prevalent I guess, from what some of the articles I read today said. (I don’t think that’s precisely the case, but my thinking is that they didn’t take into account the NEED for having a weapon with more bullets than the bad guys. Even though WE as citizens have discussed such things for YEARS — city councils are NOT known to be very “conservative” in particular OURS here in the Springs area)

M. Firearms: It shall be unlawful for any private security officer to carry any firearm while performing security services without first obtaining a firearm endorsement from the City Clerk’s Office. It shall be unlawful to carry a concealed weapon while performing security services or exercising the privileges of licensure. (Ord. 98-71; Ord. 01-42)

That’s all I can find anywhere in the regulation. I’ll have to dig more in a few.
