[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1854648, member: 42"] They picked it. It doesn't end the 1911 vs. everything else debate.....all it means that a small arms program management office picked it. Anyone with any experience in the smalls arms program management of our uniformed services will tell you that those choices don't always represent the wants/needs of the guys who will end up using the chosen platform. Sometimes the guys writing the specs and the guys making the choices are like a pig staring at a wristwatch. God bless the 1911 and it's lengthy service for our country, heritage played a role in this choice and that's ok. I hope MARSOC kills lots of smelly bearded mouth breathers with 'em...but it isn't [I]the[/I] answer, it is only [I]an[/I] answer. [/QUOTE]
