They had to reject it since Beretta rejected a gun control shithole next to the seat of power, and decided to relocate to the "patron State of shootin' stuff".

If these sentences don't sum up perfectly just how likely we are to see a new Army pistol by 2020 (ie...not at all), I don't think anything can:
The move clears the way for the Army to release a pending request for proposal that will launch the MHS competition.
Program Executive Office Soldier would not comment for this story until Army Public Affairs has approved a statement. |

They should take a look at Taurus then. The PT92 gets good reviews here just like the Colt Rail Gun.

They could have easily made the slide mounted safety/decocker just a decocker. I don't think the m9 is the best option but not to evaluate it is just stupid.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
There is nothing wrong the current Beretta They have to be getting long in the tooth and things are more modern now. Handguns used in combat need to be able to mount optics and lights and such. That's why spec ops go off book a lot and use other platforms. The Beretta should be a contender in its new form if they address the safety issue. I am not real sure of any real modern handguns though that would be able to field what they have in current production? In my opinion the Glock series of guns make a lot of sense. World wide proven and endlessly modular between the full size and subcompact version they are requesting. Not to mention lightweight and rugged. But no external safety like they want. |

As long as they still release it to us, I don't care.
No matter what pistol they go with, it won't matter anyway. They'll be used way past their service life, parts wont get replaced so the gun will continue to beat itself apart, it'll get overcleaned and then start to rust because some dipshit NCO told his joes to clean until the finish comes off. Then once that gun is broken, loose and abused, they'll issue it to someone else ten years down the road that thinks it's a piece of shit because the one that they got is way past time for deadline. Then they'll start looking for a new pistol because the ones they have are junk, and the circle of life is complete. |

you might think im a dumbass for suggesting this but.
i think the ideal handgun for the general military would be a ruger p95 with a decocker. it might be a bulky handgun... but thats not a issue when its carried on a web belt..you can say what you want, but. 1. it would be 100% reliable. 2. be rugged as fuck.. about indestructable 3. be cheap as hell. ) prob $200-$300 each) 4. american made special forces might need something more special... but for everyone else i dont see the downside. and it would save a fuck load of money. probably be at least 1/3 the price of anything else they choose from.

That's because big Army passes M9s around to different people and it gets treated like a drunk stripper in the barracks. Then after a few years you get a beat to hell pos pistol that desperately needs to be rebuilt or replaced, but since the commander and his staff get pencil whipped at the range, nobody cares enough to do it. Frankly, IMO, the way the Army handles pistol issue and operator/armorer maintaince is criminal. Whatever your flavor of choice, glock, S&W, etc; if they are constantly mistreated and abused by the Army like the M9 is, you're going to end up with racks of fucked up pistols that barely shoot straight. |
