![]() ![]() Can you imagine the possibilities if a company with the technical expertise of General Dynamics was involved in designing a modern sidearm based on realistic requirements? It must've become clear to GD that there was no reason for them to be involved with something that was going to be off-the-shelf. An M&P compact 9mm with GD engineering, design, and metallurgical changes for increased reliability might have been pretty close to what I'm suggesting. General Dynamics had signaled early on that they were partnering with S&W on an entry. Merely providing a reliable-enough sidearm at the lowest possible cost shouldn't be the only benchmark. ![]() It may seem trivial when you're talking about half a lb to a lb in weight savings, but I'd be willing to bet that the guys having to hump it would disagree. the weight these guys are having to carry into battle. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but, again, the military should be realistic in terms of what the gun is probably or most likely going to be used for vs. These aren't offensive weapons - you might use them as a primary in house clearings and certain CQB scenarios, but the reality is that the "last stand" with your sidearm occurs rarely, if ever, in modern combat.

I like the M9 and I respect Glocks for their proven record even though I don't own one. Griffin Armament DUAL-LOK Suppressor Lineup. I've never shot one, beat one with a hammer or dropped one from any height onto any surface but the testing seemed incomplete to me. The modular design of the Sig also allows for growth if need be.įor the record I do think that the XM17 trials should have played out differently(or at the very least played out) but this the point we are at. If we can get a more modern design while paying less long term, we should. I respect the company more than Sig, but the design is. Honestly, the DOD should dump the M17, go M18 force wide and allow the units that want to ditch the safety. They claim it exceeded the M17 requirements Ten fold. I respect the company more than Sig, but the design is tired. Beretta did not claim their pistol was ten times as reliable as the M17. Each test has its quirks.īeretta did not claim their pistol was ten times as reliable as the M17. There was some reliability testing posted on another board from a department test and the Sig smoked other entries in reliability, including Glock. Supposedly the M17/18 already has the fix. (See Check-Mate Shipping and Returns FAQ for more information).If Sig can get the P320 to stop firing when dropped from knee high onto carpet they will have a good gun. or other government authorization required to ensure compliance with applicable export laws.
