DOD let's contract for almost 600 million dollars worth of pistols.

Bye bye M9.

Cheers,

It's a shame that an American weapons manufacturer was not selected.

I see what appears to be two different triggers for the 320. All the ones we have in the shop have a more or less conventional looking trigger, with a slight curve to the blade.

But pictures from the Shot Show appear to show a straight bladed trigger that juts forward at a fairly extreme angle.

Anyone have an idea what the difference is?

Seems I read that the Glock 17 came in second place.

I've been waiting for the 5" p320 to come out because the 320 sounds interesting. Anyone have any hand on ?

Did they hurry up and sign a contract before Trump was sworn in? Trump might still frown on such a thing.

It is made entirely in America. SIG no longer builds pistols in Germany.

Essentially an American company with German home office.

Made by American workers.

The VTAC model? The X models? One of those has it.

Apex also sells a flat (ish) trigger (which should be where they stole... er... got the idea from)

capable of saving their asses, I am all for it.

Back when I was active duty, I was given a choice when a choice was available... the M9, M11, S&W 15, 1911... I always chose the 1911... however.. when the 1911 was not available as an option I went with the Sig over the Beretta... it fit my hand much better and I shot it better in qualifying than the M9...

Do the profits go back to Germany?

Glocks and HKs, etc, etc, etc.

of the other companies stepped up and built their own ammo plant, part of the requirement... S&W, Ruger Colt Could have, if they really wanted it, but bowed out in eurn.

and associated taxes are a much larger number than the profits and directly benefit US workers...although I would prefer profits also stay in the states.

Unless they plan to build a factory in the US and hire US workers, then can the contract and pick any US made platform.
