I keep hearing that the Seal test wrecked Glocks. What the devil did they do to wreck the Glocks? I am dying to hear the story. Thanks Much
Seal Glock wreckers

Actually they weren't wrecked; they were consumed. Seems that a certain subspecies of the moray eel finds them right tasty. The glockenscarfer eel is a half step cousin in law of the moray eel. Found only in the waters off of the Silver Strand, just south of Coronado.

Craigz why didn't they wreck the H&Ks then? Doesn't anyone know what they did to the Glocks?
I'd like to see verification on the destruction of the Glocks, I heard it was a package deal with their MP5's and the FACT that since seals need real stopping power, they wanted a real Man's gun, a .45! 
Apparently the Model 21 didn't fare in testing as well as some of the other Glock models.

I thought I'd seen it all, until a 22WMR spun a bunny 2 1/4 times in the air!

A lot of people use Berettas. The most famous contract, of course, is the Dept. of Defense. At last count, somewhere on the order of half a million M9 handguns had been delivered to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. According to Beretta, the US Navy SEALs just placed an order for 1,800 9mm Brigadiers, specially modified for cocked-and-locked carry (they also placed an order for a large number of 1201 shotguns).
**quoted from Todd Green's Armorer Notes on http://greent.com/beretta/ he stated this in late 1998 AFTER the SEALS had recieved their MK23's so I guess they weren't that happy with the .45 ACP NOR HK pistols after all proving once again that TRAINING MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!.

Didnt the SEAL's already test Beretta's? And, falied them. I remeber a saying: "You arent a Navy SEAL, until you've tasted Italian steel". Apprently, they did not know that Berettas could not take too much of their super hot +P loads, and the slides split right off the frame, right into their faces.

I heard the order for Brigadiers never went through. Will check.
Beretta slides are doing fine now; contract only called for a service life of 5K rounds, they are avging over 75K, over 30K MRBS (mean rounds between stoppages). If you think SIGs and BHPs do any better on avg w mil-spec ammo, you are dreaming.
Last time I trained w any SEALs was in 96/97, they had SIGs and USPs (not the Mk23 Model O 45). The MK23 was a special purpose tool, not for general issue to everybody on the teams.

Send a SEAL into a bare, round room with instructions to evaluate three handguns.
Come back in an hour.
Ask the Seal how it went.
One pistol will be broken, one will be lost, and the other will be concealed somewhere on his person.
If your not cheating your not trying. If you get caught, you are not trying hard enough.

Members of SEAL team 1 that I have shot with have a definate distaste for Berettas.. said that they had been told that they would be getting them in some sort of "for free" deal that fell through.
They said that ofall of the weapons they had tested the USP design was the only one they had trouble destroying. They also found them to be accurate, super reliable and best ergonomically... They did not much like the SOCOM as they said it was a brick. All I talked to said the USP Compact was the fav although there were still the die-hard 1911 proponents...
