[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 2575375, member: 100"] "Modular Handgun System" smells like something expensive and with lots of parts that need to be accounted for by the individual Servicemember. IIRC, Sig made/ makes a pistol that's modular, with different barrel/ slide combos and replaceable grip frames. Maybe that's the direction they're heading? Other than dumping 9mm NATO caliber, few things are certain. I'd bet on at least partially polymer frame and corrosion resistant surfaces for the Steel parts. Double stack mag? My G21 grip fits my hand fine, but little hands might struggle. New caliber? New rounds besides ball, tracer & match? Standardized JHP for AT/CT, AP, bacon tipped? Another certainty- As we mull this over from our keyboards, the major arms manufacturers are working hard. It's a huge financial success to win one of these contracts. Don't forget all the holsters/ rigs, lights, pointers, "New" cleaning supplies, ammo, etc... Many million$ will be made and new legions of fanboys will argue over various merits and problems. Anyone know if the design requirements have gone out? [/QUOTE]
