It was a shame when the Corps chose the Barretta 9mm over the Sig P226
but I was happy none the less because I couldn't hit the broad side of a
barn with my 1911 draw from the armory...qualified expert the first time
out with the Barretta. That being said I now own the P226 chambered in
.40.

Why not the 1911? Because it is 2017, not 1917. Higher capacity amongst a host of other things is why the 1911 is gone for good. Nice guns but we no longer use a 1903 Springfield either.

I carried an M9 for 4 years. Two out of four years, the gun malfunctioned (as in needing to go back to the armory before it could fire again) in the middle of pistol quals. Didn’t leave me feeling good about carrying it in combat.

It did shoot straight when it worked.
