I think had the US Army not had their budget gutted post WWII, they would have been getting new 1911s instead of keeping the old ones in inventory until the 80s. There's accounts that the 1911s were...

The reason why people carried the 1911 hammer down is not on a live round or they're stupid because 1911s don't have hammer blocks if you ride the hammer down on a live round. Early US Army SOP with...

It's more like mistrust of our troops and instead of training them, it's more cost effective to give them equipment where they rely on the gadget to protect them from accidents?

I still feel that...

I thought the FBI HRT retired the MP5/10 because it was overpowered for a platform that was never designed for it

I thought the primary reason for not adopting the 10mm was because women and some "weak" men can't handle the recoil, so they then took some powder out and then got the bright idea of creating the...

Formality is one way to put it. Though since pistols aren't a primary weapon and aren't issued to everybody, it isn't the most important thing

This in light of other branches like the US Marines adopting it.

They do test pistols under extreme conditions and it's the military. They can replace entire weapon systems if shit happens to it. The US military certainly has the budget for it.

I'm also questioning the purpose of something a gimmicky sounding as "Modular". As if it was purpose built to be that mindset. For basic infantry that are issued a sidearm, why does it matter if it...

The whole underbidding of contacts is always a staple. We wish the best money can buy should be afforded to the guys in uniform but politics and costs will always put it down

I actually don't recommend revolvers for new shoots on the sole reason is that their legendary reliability over semi autos is a myth.

We can get on a whole other debate about automatic handguns...

Realistically, there's nothing actually wrong with the Beretta design as a whole. It just had problems being maintained in the field and at the time, felt kinda heavy compared to other guns of the...

They should try hollow points. I don't believe the US actually has signed any treaties that prevents them from not using them. I think we don't use them because of our allies, the same reason why we...

The US Army did use a .38 at one point, but then they fought in the Spanish American war and realized the .38 suck ass.




I agree with that for the most part, which is why training is...

I think most troops who are more trained would probably carry it with the safety off since it was designed without one and practice their draw to make sure the safety is off. I know some people who...

Yeah, but they made SIG create a new variant of the P320 with a manual safety.

I also disagree that if you are issued a pistol, you're not expected to use it. I think the mindset is that it's for...

Realistically, a firearm should be as simple as possible. A sidearm should just have no manual safety or a decocker. Just point and shoot and teach basic safety to the troops when handling them. A...
