The mk23 with supressor and lam was the size and weight of a submachinegun, but a concealed carry pistol isnt that great either. theres a happy medium, i think a regular hk45. I wonder when the military will open up more pistol trials, and if they will be rigged. Hell if they werent playing politics and rigging tests the t48 rifle wouldve been in us hands in vietnam and smith and wesson 459s would be in holsters now.

It would be nice if you were allowed to carry what you want as a sidearm as long as you provide it for yourself and it can use issued ammo.

I prefer functionality and ergonomics over style

Id go with a springfield pro with a squared and serrated trigger guard.

I've thought the same thing quite often myself. Still have an official sidearm, but give others the option to use their own guns if so desired.

That said, I can see why the military and police departments do what they do. Maintenance, for example - I can only imagine the fits the armorers would have if, in addition to servicing Berettas and M4s, they had to worry about someone's SIG 556 or another's Ruger P89.

I wish DSA would make a 556 like the imbel 97. Would be sick.
