Is this the pistol preferred by most of our SEALs past and present?
Thanks and MAGA!
“Is this the pistol preferred by most of our SEALs past and present?”
In the SEAL kit is a variety of potential sidearms, but I imagine this is in the current kit. Others I know of are the Beretta M9, Glock 19, different models of H&K and, of course, the 1911.
Back in my day, we didn’t even carry pistols, generally. The thinking was, better to have another 30 round mag of 5.56 or two than a pistol and spare mags for the same weight.
That has changed. It’s always been a hodge-podge of pistols in the Teams. The west coast stayed with 45s for a long time, the east coast had gone to S+W39s threaded for a suppressor (”hush puppies”). SIGs are certainly well regarded, so is the Glock 19. The 92 was always considered too big and bulky. In the Teams where they could purchase their preference, 92 were never issued to my knowledge. Mostly Sigs the last 20 years.
