Does every branch have their own side arm now?

Notice the Screaming Eagles emblem on the side of the helmet.

Modular, so girl hands will fit it. And every Sig i get my hands on is blocky and heavier than it should be.
Sig is very overrated.

I rented a SIG 320 and was not particularly impressed, as there was nothing about it that was any better than a whole lot of other striker-fired handguns. Didn’t hate it, didn’t like it.

I did not know ergonomics was something which could be quantitatively measured (“greater” vs. “lesser”). I’ve always thought of it as something which depended on a qualitative analysis ( “better” vs. “worse”).

My Sig Sauer P320SC subcompact and P320F full-size pistols are my favorites and the result of trading through many other brands and models over the years. The subcompact is my favorite. I do have a Glock 42, which is great when I have limited concealability. I use the P320F for competitive IDPA and USPSA matches.

I’ll give them $100 a piece for their 4-month-old Glock 19s...

Probably as good as any and better than most.

We really do have a lot of great handguns to choose from now. The Beretta model 92 is probably as reliable as any handgun ever but it does have a large grip.

Unfortunately I can’t afford a new handgun right now. I have two old Browning Hi-Powers which are perfectly good but I would pick something else, a double action, if I could pick any one I wanted.

Actually if I could just choose one it would not be a 9mm but a full size Glock 10mm even if it is not DA. Can’t remember the model numbers.

Yeah. The Army got it first. SOP.

As we used to say:

“We have been doing so much with so little for so long, we are now fully qualified to do anything with nothing.”

Made by Sig Sauer-— reading label upside down. Nowhere in the article is the manufacturer listed, probably assumes readers know.

Good question does every branch have their own sidearm?

“Modular?” That’s not vague or generalizing enough. Give us something more suitable for contemporary academic stupidity.

We can’t buy these in California. The Sig 320 is not on the California DOJ approved list of firearms.

I hate this putrid commie state.

No matter. No one has learned from the Beretta 92 debacle.....It’s all Euro-crap....

Please give me one of John M Browning’s finest....105 years old and going strong..

The Marine’s issue these to their SOG (Raider/Force Recon/Recon) units......other services fight over getting USMC 1911 pistols......they know what to use when the chips are down....
