lets not forget pistols for most coventional army units are not primary weapons but a PDW issued as back up weapons. Unlike police and spec ops pers who use them as primary weapons.
Not to meation how much dose the US Army spend on 9mm purchases in a year? You think those companies are going to let the Army change the round they make?
On a side note the Canadain Military has released a contact for new handgun system, however all biders where told the you have to had over your designs to Colt Canada as they will making the new handgun.
I am hoping for the Colt Delta Elite but if we adopt the Colt Officer's ACP which is a .45, I might be able to trade for a M1 if I go on exchange to the US
