It’s completely asinine, in 2012, to issue military troops ANY pistol with a single-digit mag capacity. Asinine.
A 1911 fanboy hijacked the process. Fine pistol, and I’ve owned several, but for soldiers and Marines, history has passed on by the single-digit-mag pistol era.
Leathernecks can wrap their mits around a double stack mag, even in .45. Concealment is not an issue. This is pure 1911 nostalgia by a fanboy. Issuing trooops a pistol that can’t hold at least 17 rounds of 9mm or 14 of .45 is a complete joke.
The XDM .45 Caliber pistol has a 13 round capacity. That’s what would be required, a .45 with that sort of capacity.
