*BREAKING: USMC To Adopt Modular Handgun System*

Interesting, even with all the issues the Army was/is having.

but has the issue actually been properly fixed yet?.. theres reason to believe sig knew about the issues with the trigger as far back as 2011 with the P250 which is an almost identical trigger mechanism.. what exactly have they done to remedy the problem?.. its an interesting pistol, and has a lot of room for all sorts of interesting aftermarket parts and accessories, but im not sure i trust sig when they say theyve fixed it

i am more interested in them since they came out with a completely different grip style for them.. i hated the original grips

Old news. This was reported weeks ago. I even reported on it here in another thread dealing with the MHS.

I wouldn't buy one. When I first heard about it I was surprised, when I saw how fast they came up with fix it made me think they knew the problem existed and released it anyway and figured they'd offer then fix when the complaints started rolling in.
People see Sig and HK as top quality and they're willing to pay top dollar to get one. I can't believe they would allow their rep to be damaged like that.

I think they should have used the new beretta, or maybe the px4

my vote would have been for the M&P 2.0 which is no less modular than the P320.. first lie about P320 modularity is caliber conversions.. you can switch from 9mm to 40 on just about every 9mm handgun out there and the P320 cannot go from a 9mm to a 45acp.. its caliber conversions are the same as every other 9... the other lie about modularity is going from a full size to a compact because 9/10 times everyone going to a smaller frame will also go to a smaller slide and wow.. now you have a whole new gun, i dont see the grip size swaps being that useful

at the end of the day a P320 is no more modular than a G19 or an M&P

This was reported weeks ago about the Marines being issues the SIG P320? I must have missed that?

Don't worry about it. It's not the first time TFB has been last to the party. It was announced on Kitup! back in May 2017 that the other services were also going to adopt the MHS.

In other news, four days ago Kitup! announced the Marines were earmarking funds for FY2019 to start making the purchases. Look for TFB to make the announcement in 2020.

The bigger lie about going from full-size to compact is that it matters. For standard-issue service use, it doesn't.

Show me a healthy adult who can't use a Beretta M9, Glock 19 or M&P and I'll show you someone who doesn't need to be in the military, or at least, doesn't need to be in a role that would ever see combat. This should not have been a factor at all, or maybe a very minor factor, but it was treated like the only factor.

 

[Nomad 2nd]

So when's the CMP going to be selling M9's?
I'm no fan of the Beretta, but @$200 I'll put back a couple or 6 as "4 wheeler guns" or the new equal of "a model 10 in every room."

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

LOL......if we've waited this long for 1911s I wager some of us won't be around when they start to release the M9 for civilian purchase. By that time, the anti-gunners may have succeeded.

 

[Pranqster1]

shoulda gone with Glock.

I'll compromise with them on this one. They can have the M9's. Garbage guns, all around.

I'd trust my life with a High Point before an M9 any day of the week.

If I'm gonna shoot a crap gun, I'd like it to at least be cheap.

When I got out in 2009 we were still using the 1911.
No one will want to keep the Beretta.

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

The AzNG still had 1911s in the 52nd St. Armory around 2004-2005. Most were in very good shape. May still be there for all I know.
