I have a question for the more knowledgeable among the TFL members(which would be almost all of you..;-))
I understand that the Military tested several handguns before deciding on the Beretta as the issue sidearm. One obvious factor would be capacity(compared to the 1911A1) another being double action.
I know that they tested the Ruger, Browning BDM,Sig and others. I dont know if the Glock, or CZ75 were tested.
So why the 92F? I have always felt that the CZ75 was a better design(but then thats my opinion)
Somehow I am not convinced that only the Beretta 92F sucessfully satisfied the military's requirement.I know for a fact that the Ruger(P85??)did the same.Also Ruger was being manufactured in America, why give away business to a forigner?
I hope you can enlighten me on this one.
