There are definitely worse pistols out there.
I love the reliability my Glocks show. The capacity of a Semi-auto and the reliability of a revolver.
I like both semi-autos and revolvers, but if push came to shove, I'd go with a revolver.Originally Posted by Viking350

Glock, yes. But why 9mm and why compact? That doesn't make sense to me.
They should've gone to G20SF's. 15 rounds of 10mm would be much preferable to the same of 9mm...

The G19 is already in inventory. The G19 can be more easily concealed when outside uniform. 9mm makes logistical sense. They've been issuing them to Special Operations personal for a while now. All the branches are just making it official.
