So what happens to used Berettas?
The Beretta was and is a great pistol.
It’s only weakness imo is the grip is rather bulky.
Maybe they will sell them to civilians. Well it could happen as long as Obama or Clinton is not in the White House.
So.... can I get the 60,000 Beretta pistols at a wholesale/pre-used price ?
What will happen to all the ‘old’ weapons?..........................scrap? 8^(
The Beretta was always a bad choice for the military. Not appropriate for dirty environment, more difficult to train with being double/single action, tends to ‘get dry’ and have malfunctions if not well lubed. Just not what I would want for a firefight.
Its ok as a range gun.
Disclaimer - I have a M-9. And I am trained to run it, but its no match against a Glock for time from in the holster to shots on target. I used the M-9 mostly for training students in double/single action operation now. And of course many of us just have to have one of everything military. :)
I believe the Military version has a hammer that the pictures do not reflect.
Could this have anything to do with other-than-male sailors?
It’s about time. James Bond, 007, switched to the Walther PPK in 1956 because his Beretta was “a lady’s gun with no real stopping power”. Our Navy is well behind the British Navy on this. As usual.
...and I’ll “but-back” all their Berettas for $75 per unit.
I’m old-school!
1911s and M-14s for all!
We just have to buy pistols small enough for women’s hands.
Buy American, damn it.
.
I can say that the 228 is a great gun (wife has one) so if it is just a stubbier 228 it should serve well.
.
Why are we buying this Euro-crap? Every time they have a little war we have to go in with our AMERICAN designed and manufactured weapons to save them. I just don’t understand it.
John Moses Browning Enough said.
“the nation’s seagoing branch will go with the smaller version of the Army’s Modular Handgun System”
Because everyone knows that sailors have smaller ... “hands”.
While the Army is issuing the gun in a kit with both frames and one interchangeable plug-and-play fire control unit that makes up the guts of the handgun, ....
Does anybody else think this sounds kind of wasteful? Each of these "kits" will end up having a frame, and I assume, a barrel and slide that will end up not being used?
