If this is anything like the M4A1 carbine replacement trial, you might be right. The military just had too much invested in the M16 series rifle. The U.S.M.C. had just not to long ago upgraded to the Beretta M9A1, so they aren't getting away from it. Even if the Army did replace it would be a slow transition just like the M9 was to the M1911A1. If it's not broke don't fix it, and if you do try to fix it......... make sure it's worth it.

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

I believe they were either sold at auction to Law Enforcement agency's or foreign governments, Stockpiled away inside of armory's and forgotten about, or destroyed. I remember back in the mid-90's we still had some still in the armory rusting away.

Given to Turkey, sold to clubs through DCM/CMP, 300,000 destroyed at the Alabama arsenal, along with a lot of M14's. Just another reason to dislike the president of the time!
