100% more ejection per ejection.

Real operators use FDE, get over it
Kayden Jackson
So if you get captured you can drop it to kill the attacker with a surprise attack
Ryan Morris
high paying, cushy post-service jobs for the guys involved.

It's for when the commie butterbars out of West Point surrender to the enemy. They can drop their weapons and still have someone else ensure their survival.
Jose Ross
It's a sidearm that's rarely used. Cheaper is better.
Nathan Morris
How was it cheaper?
Grayson Thompson
Glock charged more per unit than Sig, and it didn't offer much to justify the increased cost in the eyes of the Army. Glock would've been the better choice if the Army really drank their own "Modular Handgun System" koolaid, but all they wanted was the most cost-effective replacement for the M9.
Ayden Perry
I mean, they also had to buy a new logistics chain that supported the new pistol. Armories and tools and whatnot that shared no similarities with Glock. So you saved money per unit sure, but you fucked yourself everywhere else, but that's a tax write off so the Gov't doesn't really care.

>thinking the funny money matters
>thinking debt matters
Just print more shekels bro
Carter Bailey
Price per unit already includes all maintenance and spare parts.
The only thing spent beyond that is time for implementation.

Glock simply didn't offer the gun the army was asking for. They essentially just slapped a half assed safety on their normal product and damn near ignored every other requirement while trying to charge significantly more than the competition that actually did submit a product that at least attempted to give the army what it wanted, the glawk knows best attitude is palpable in their submission. Shockingly the army wasn't too into that.

>half assed safety
Better than Sig's 100% ass safety.

The military models actually didn’t have that issue, allegedly. It was due to a design change on the civilian models.
Liam Reed
They did. They just quickly corrected them.
The issue was the trigger weighing too goddamn much.
Aiden Thomas
fpbp
Christopher Barnes
Because if they don't spend all of their money, they can't get more money next year.
Josiah Ward
It cost less.
Glock was fucking stupid. They should have done what'd got them into the hands of LEO and bought them their market share: Undercut the fuck out of everyone hard.
Sidearms are useless. The only people who even carry AND use them are SOF that can just pull a glock from the armory. Everyone else has them so they don't have to walk with a carbine.
Carson Brown
It does everything that the Glawk does for cheaper and it also makes retards mad. Not sure why though.

Why is OP such a cock sucking faggot? We will never know.
Julian Morales
glock failed to submit a pistol that followed the directions of what they wanted, so glock was out from the get go.
it was down to beretta and sig.

>jamming non stop at 1:00
hahahahah
Kayden Nguyen
that was the Canik TP9 m8
cmon bruh pay attention at least
Dylan Jackson
so they can melt them easy by throwing them into a fire...
Nolan Edwards
Because it unironically is better than the M9.
Blake Morris
>Better than Sig's 100% ass safety.
Nobody genuinely holds this opinion. That shitty little Cominolli safety Glock used on their submission was so fucking lazy. It's amazing they made it as far in the trials as they did.
