In all honesty, I think a Glock 17 would be a good general service sidearm.
Cheap, light weight, easy to use, nice big mag, reliable, simply manual of arms.
But for good or ill, the U.S. military likes external safeties for the masses.
Nyles, I'm guessing then that they were MPs.
They had that MP sense of "I'm watching you Trooper, regardless that you're in a different uniform" versuses that whole SOF "yeah, you know and I know I'm cool. We can be friends but I don't want to waste the effort right now" swagger of SOF dudes.
