“Desert Eagle 50AE. Heavy, cumbersome, and difficult to shoot, but it’ll look great in the war movies.”
Or an AR pistol in .450 SOCOM. Think of the parts commonality. Think of the knockdown power. Think how soldiers would look with that thing strapped to their leg
Common sense would say a pistol that’s not double action first shot, single action second shot. DAO or Glock type action would be sensible as a military piece. I can’t think why a Glock wouldn’t work for them, or a S&W M&P. I love the 1911’s, and shot one competitively for years, but I also think there are better options now, for military use. It is nearly impossible to train new recruits (or for that matter great shooters) to make two quick hits, one DA and one SA on target. The DA/SA was and still is a bad idea. The HK USP is available with several triggers/action, the most common can be either DA/SA or carried cocked and locked like a gov’t 1911. I’m not so sure that the politically correct crowd likes seeing a hammer back when holstered though! Somehow a striker fired, hammerless design is less fearsome, at least with liberal ‘logic’. Obviously an oxymoron
