“The DA/SA was and still is a bad idea.”

I shoot a DA/SA (Taurus 92) and the shooting sport I lamely attempt to pretend I am competing in lets me put it my holster hammer back, safety on and pretend it’s a single action. Of course, that’s what I do because that first DA trigger pull sucks SO BAD.

“Glock type action would be sensible as a military piece”

Lots and lots of Armies agree with you on that. Glock is a stupendously well proven military sidearm. The good thing about long drawn out Army test would be that is give S&W, HK or whoever a chance to prove that there “Glockish” handguns are as good.

As a long-time 1911 shooter, I have a fantastic Ed Brown 1911 that I have won a lot of bowling pin matches with, once winning high overall for seven straight weeks, so to say I like the 1911 is an understatement. My everyday carry weapon is a Glock 30 subcompact in .45 ACP. It never has missed in thousands of rounds.

A Glock variant will not ever likely be adopted by the DoD. When it comes to handguns, the brass are far more worried about negligent discharges than they are about anything else. A Glock is the brass’ worst nightmare when it comes to administrative handling. They will never go for a design where the trigger must be pulled for a field strip.
