Glad their "testing" was so thorough...

Should of picked the glock. Cheap bastards. That's all our military cares about. How can we save money. Look at the VA hospitals for an example.

Let's not be too harsh. Just because it fails drop tests, the trigger pak self destructs, and it can't reliably feed ball ammo...

Did I miss anything?

Well, being that its based on such a super high quality specimen called the P250, I'm really shocked to hear all this...

They should have went with the Highpoint contract. They could have saved an additional $100 million.

Beretta APX FTW.

 

[Distant Thunder]

It's just a sad example of our government selection process at work. On the other hand, it's not like someone's life may depend on it ... wait a minute ... oops.

 

[Bcw7101]

Oh but it’s modular and can change the frame size......about as useful as a pistol bayonet lug.

 

[checkyoursix]

Compared to both the G19 and the APX the 320 felt very cheap to me.

I can’t put my finger on anything in particular, I am not a polymer connoisseur but it was a feeling distinct enough to make me sell my red dot 320 after one range trip, loosing some money on it without regrets.

Am not that surprised that it’s developing some issues. Truth be told so did the Beretta in the early stages but then they went for a long smooth sail. I just hope that our troops get the pistol they deserve in the end.

 

[Dog Soldier]

Just give the soldiers $1,200 bucks and they can buy what they want from Cabela's. There is a well known fact the military weapons never work regardless of where they buy. Great idea.:ladiesman:

Oh without question, especially the APX.

 

[biggen]

Maybe CMP could sell them some 1911's.

The military doesn't do VA hospitals though.....

 

[strangerjames]

I personally don't care.
Was a grunt from 2010-2013. Never even shot an M9.
SoF does their own thing and aren't constrained to the MHS.

What was your bad experience at a VA hospital? The two I have been to seem to be OK.

Been in since 03, carried an M9 since 05.

I care.

Just one other minor annoyance:

"The report also went on to indicate that the pistol has a propensity for ejecting live rounds alongside spent shells". :faint:

 

[BuckyP]

Were there any other issues, other than the slides cracking?

 

[ScottMn]

How does a pistol eject a live round without manually cycling the slide? Do the rounds pop out of the magazine as the slide ejects the spent cartridge? Does this leave the pistol with an empty chamber or does it manage to pick up another round and chamber it?
