It appears the Office of the US Army Materiel Command rushed to approve the new military handgun that will replace the Beretta sidearm.

They're encountering problems with reliability, safety, failure to eject FMJ rounds, etc.

"...the GAO’s judgment in June 2017 suggests that the branch ended up selecting Sig Sauer’s entry due to its relatively lower price point for a two-gun proposal that offered “overall the best value to the government.”

You get what you pay for.....

Too bad they haven't thought to stick with "Old Reliable," the 1911. I know it won't hold as many rounds, but it's the Kalishnikov of handguns. It'll "take a licking and keep on ticking."
