Seriously, how can you be a first rate fighting force with 20th century technology? The Marines could have Glock 21s with 13 round basic capacity, 27 round sticks , and a 3 round auto sear for half the money.

We don't need a plastic pistol that blows up and has inadequate safety features. Kimber would have been a better choice than Colt, however.

Much as I love my 1911 pistols, a handgun in today’s military of little consequence in the big scheme of things. The new M45 is a specialized tool in a specialized role.

If I was in charge (shudder to think of it) I’d let NCO’s and officers carry any pistol or revolver they wanted, if they didn’t like the GI one and they could qualify with it.

When we face a real military (and we surely will), the Marine infantry had better up their game.
