    Comment


    • isn't the designation "M9" a purely US military one? :confused:

          "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

          • The pistol has been chosen as far as I know. Not sure which one but the rumour mill says the sig. Apparently there was a article in the examiner saying the same but I never saw it.

            • With regard to the 3 P's, the Glock 17 should win.

              The Sig however seems to be tried and tested and if the price is right it's going to be the one.
              As for accuracy, presumably the missile carries MRVs with terminal phase sensors and guidance.

                  • I've heard from someone in industry that it's down to Glock, FN, HK & Walther.

                    • Surely a decision has been made now?


                      Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                      • Gotta be the SIG!

                        Comment


                        • I was told that SIG were ruled out early on in the competition on cost grounds.

                          • Contrary to earlier reports, I'm led to believe a decision is some way off.

                              I don't know anyone who thinks that SIGs are not top-rate combat pistols. (As opposed to competition-grade pistols such as Kimber, which are better, but stupidly expensive).

                              The Classic range is the one in common service in various militaries, with a steel frame and slide. They are, however, also a fair bit more expensive than most of their competitors, such as Glock.

                              To counter that, they also produce the SIGPro series (One example of which I am the proud owner of). These have polymer frames, and as such are lighter and less expensive. On the downside, none of the polymer SIGs are full-sized pistols, my P2340 has about a 4" barrel, for example.

                              • Rumour I heard last time i was in the Curragh that it was definitly going to be the Glock17 but like most things it probly better to wait and hear for definite instead of just speculating.

                                Michael Collins: You've kept us waiting 700 years. You can have your seven minutes.

                                Michael Collins: So that's what all the bother was about.
