The only things I like about the 1911, is how it looks, and how it feels in my hand.

Just put one in the hurricane evacuation supplies along with a bunch of good ammo.

[ßuddaßudd]

That is the best thing I ever did to my USP40..

[Anti-Bubba182]

They have good triggers.

[Cobra64]

Nothing wrong with a Glock. Very reliable and dirt cheap, low budget sidearm.

Steel is real. :-)

[Farmer Dean]

Same here for my wife.She carried a 9mm for years and switched to a .45.

[Scrambler Bob]

What load are the Marines planning to use?

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

I would have recommended the “Walther PPQ M2 Navy 9mm”. This is one sweet side arm, build for their type of mission. Please check it out.

9mm knock down power?Cut me a break! For my own protection I carry a .357 or .45 ACP.Some urban predator on crack will not go down quickly if hit by 9 mm.unless a hesd or heart hit.

The nerve of those Marines...

:)

[Wneighbor]

Chicks can’t shoot a .45

Excuse me, I carry and shoot a .45 just fine. Do just as well or better than my husband with his 9 mil.

[Wneighbor]

Yeah, I can’t find a Glock that’s comfortable to hold. That’s why hubby has the Glock and I have a .45.

[D Rider]

Both my 5’ 2” daughters shoot .45s... girls shoot .45s just fine.

[Vendome]

having one approved pistol for all special operators saves money...

and Hopefully lives are spared as well...

[PROCON]

Please be advised that the G-19 is their secondary weapon and very suitable for conceal/carry.

Primary weapon is a variety of 7.62 platforms.
