About GD time. I fucking loath the M9 pistol. More accurately the shitty bullet they use.

Well they're still 9mm right?
I wonder how long it will take to get these in full swing. Remember a little while back when the DOD had a contest for a new battle rifle. It came down to the ACR vs the SCAR and the SCAR won and you do see them in the hands of military but you still see a lot of troops carrying AR style variants.

Unfortunately still 9mm. NATO Treaty.
If they use the new 9mm round that makes them effectively on par as a 40cal then I might change my opinion on 9mm. However the 9mm ball round that they've been using since 86 sucks ass. 22cal rounds are more effective IMHO.
I had to use it in Iraq at very close range, took the 4th shot to drop the a-hole so I can say my opinion with certainty.
Operators carry 45cal. No worries about not doing the job the 1st time.
