S&W MP. 9mm, .357, .40, .45 for half the price. And you can get them w/ a thumb safety if that’s an issue.
But hey, it’s taxpayer’s money. Go for the gold.
That is the result of some gun nerd being the guy that gets to choose the gun, or pitch the gun to the board that selects the gun.
Ditto Springfield XD. And Taurus makes a sweet 1911 for about $500. But then, that’s spending my own money, not the taxpayers’.
