More lethal.....well, it is​ a P320.

I guess somebody forget to tell them that they are switching to a polymer gun:

Maybe they're rubbing the barrel....look, Army life can be very....lonely​ in a way.

If they had gone with the GLock, the fanboys would have swooned.\
As it is, they have been butthurt ever since.

What's wrong with striker fired guns?

They're not as sexy as a Python or a 1911, but, other than that, I got nothing.

Should've stayed with the 1911A1.

Those damn plastic pistols are junk and will never make it off the shelves.



Actually, had a guy selling me my first Glock 17 1st Gen tell me that. Lol

Since slam-fires aren't a concern they could've gone back to the pre-1926 1911s

You and me both! I like the fact that the hammer is down and the spring is relaxed.
MY first Glock 19 sat in my drawer for 2+ years.
When got some range time. I attempted to fire it.
Most of the box was NO fire. No strike on the primer.

Why? Should we want our boys with reliable, accurate, and deadly weapons?

Absolutely! Plenty of dead Germans and Japanese can attest to this!

I never knew that GIs could throw 1911s with such deadly accuracy... do they still teach that in the military?
