Having served 6 years with the Army I was always frustrated and amazed at the devotion the military seemingly had for the Beretta M9 handgun. I never liked the M9 - from the first time I ever shot one I thought it was an inferior weapon. I was once told that the reason why we ever went to the M9 was to ensure that Italy would allow the US Military to maintain a base in their country (The M9 being manufactured in Italy).
As I was reading through yet another fantastic issue of Army Times today the headline reads "Army dumping M9". All I have to say is it is about time. My suggestion for the army is to go to the Glock .40 cal model 23. It is a far superior weapon in all respects.
