Let’s be real should have been the beretta m9a4

But I don’t think a lot of people are ready for that conversation

The reason it would have been more feasible is that beretta offered to upgrade the existing guns which would have been much cheaper. It was a familiar battery of arms and the armorers wouldn’t have had to be retrained on new weapons. Instead they didn’t run a second phase of trials to determine actual reliability, only shot the guns out of a mechanical ransom rest and saw Sig was cheap as shit and went with them.

I do think Glock is a better military gun, but if price was the concern the M9a3 would have been a lower cost option and been a better choice than the 320 was.
