Gonna be a lot of pocket-lining action if this operation goes ahead.
Unless . . . .if the tiny Detonics company (five total personel) has a good and appealing product and the military would license bigger companies to produce it.

SIG P220 would be just fine with me.
To: skeptoid
If my swiss cheese memory serves, didn't Detonics use to make an extremely small 1911 clone?
Are they offering some new design here? Lots of outfits make almost compact 1911s these days.
To: skeptoid
They must be well connected.

The FN FNX, S&W MP series and the SIG 220 series are serious contenders and so is Beretta.

Here’s a suggestion - 1911 .45
Never equaled, never exceeded.

Obama now just needs to decide which color will be less offensive to Muslims.

Glocks are a modern concoction.
I, personally, like them, but there’s nothing on Planet Earth as good as a 1911 .45.

From the article:
The company's guns were popular, even snagging a costarring role on the ankle of Sonny Crockett (actor Don Johnson) in the Miami based TV crime series.

How many ounces do they weigh when fully loaded with bacon fat? And what’s their range, and is there a super soaker version.

Hk45T in Version 3 configuration.
The compact version Hk45ct is already serving with the Navy SpecWar groups under the designation Mark 24 Mod 0. At least one went on the Neptune Spear operation to bag Usama Bin Laden.
Of course, the U.S. Army hates Navy ideas and will cheap out and go with the Smith & Wesson M&P gun, or something. I sure hope they don’t choose the FN FNX 45 Tactical.
Whatever they select, how the gun fits the hands of a 5’1” military policewoman will ultimately be the prime consideration even if she’s just going to get pregnant and leave the Army after 2 1/2 years active duty on a disability.

theres nothing on Planet Earth as good as a 1911 .45. Nonsense. The 1911 is a beautiful sailboat in an ocean full of powerboats.

Personally, I like revolvers more than anything but I still carry a Glock 20.
Got my S&W 629 sitting beside me right now as a matter of fact. beautiful.
There's a saying, you show your buddy your 1911, you show your enemy your Glock. same is true for smith and Wesson revolvers I guess. IMHO.
