Agree completely. Why sig?
Colt is still a US company, is it not?
“Colt is still a US company, is it not?”
To the best of my knowledge.
Colt crapped in their nest long ago. They stopped the snake lines never followed the trend toward striker fired weapons, high capacity mags, etc. their top management drained the company and bagged ass. Remington is in the same condition.
The US soldier needs and deserves the best weapons available. Comparing a range or hunting weapon is ludicrous. The 1911 will not cover the current conditions on the battlefield. The contract competionw is open to all suppliers but you better bring a useful option for current operational requirements.
Now how about these used berratas?
This design is completely modular, with the working parts mounted in a steel carriage that can be swapped into any number of different-sized grip frames. This crosses over to the civilian/commercial market - if a grip that is tailored for smaller female hands is offered for the p320 series, a military version will be available too. I can see why the armorers would like that design.
Currently, I don't think there are any American designs that offer this sort of flexibility.
