Now I'm just an Ole' Southern Country Boy what got educatin' at one ah them thar big city liberal arts colleges up North. I have taken more than one wooden nickle in my life while on a whim in a Gun Shop. That much is for sure.
What I just can't figure out is why Uncle Sam keeps ah buyin' them thar EYE-talion Berettas unless there's sumthin' to em'. Don't give me that lowest bidder malarky. I am well familiar with what LEO's pay for the major brands and there is no Pistol Maker who would not have met,nay, beaten the price bid Beretta tendered if they had been granted half a chance.
It just don't add up. Wouldn't Uncle Sam use a Glock, Sig or HK as a standard side arm if he wanted to? After all, ain't we the biguns on the block? While we are at it, I heard a rumblin' that the Army will order no more of the M 11's (P228 Sig) in favor of a smaller M9 variant.
Well, I know I done whooped up a heap of a commotion so I'll make tracks before them flames start a comin'!
Have ah goodun----WB
