Government rejects Glock protest; Army's new handgun will be a Sig Sauer

[Amp Mangum]

The Government Accountability Office has denied a protest from firearms manufacturer Glock that sought to have the government reconsider its award of a 10-year, $580 million contract for the Army's new handgun to a competitor.

Army choose what they wanted.

I'm a borderline glocktard, but think they made a valid choice. It's not like they picked a POS that makes no sense just to give the contract to one of their friends.

Sig is as good if not better. Good for America.

I reject Glocks too.

I was just told something about the Sig P320 and if someone here can confirm this, I'd kinda like to know. I was told that if the Sig is taken out of battery, say during a scuffle or other muzzle impact, that after it returns to battery, it will not fire. It clicks, but will not fire until the slide is completely cycled again. Just curious.

I would say negative. I have a p320 and press check at certain classes etc wouldnt that be the same condition? Mine goes bang everytime

You mean block didn't win? But they are so innovative these days with front slide serations...
