Who thinks the military messed up in adopting the M9 Beretta and getting rid of the Colt .45 M1911A1? I personally really like both of them, but know how we had to standardize with NATO by adopting the 9mm. But the excuse of easier training for new recruits is ridiculous in my book. They are military soldiers, U.S. at that, and should be trained better than anyone else because we are considered the best. I was in the Army for a few years and firmly believe that small arms training, while good, could definitly be better. Especially with handguns.
If we had the choice to stay with the .45 or go with the 9mm, not 9mm only, who thinks we should have kept the M1911A1? Granted now, the ones we had in stock were pretty shoddy, considering the last time any new ones were bought were at the end of WWII. What if we bought new ones, like the new Colt M1991A1?
