Glock For U.S. Military Sidearm??

[tylerwhale666]

yesssssssssthh

[Thisissaj12100]

Neither, go back to a 1911

[bigshukas]

Yeah 40sw is the middle ground clock 22 or 23

[xmmh]

I think that they should replace the Beretta, just due to stopping power, with the XDm. Then the soldiers can choose whatever caliber they want, it's a reliable polymer frame pistol, and it's made in America. Everyone wins

[d23daja]

No it should be changed to a smith & Wesson m&p in .40

[MeNewBee]

The USCG use Sig p226/40 DAK. , No problems with saltwater.

[MeNewBee]

Glock tech support stated can not shoot load in a glock. To do so you must change out barrel to a non glock.

[COLT45keith]

Definetly keep the the Beretta....Glock trigger is unsafe and Beretta is already proven the most reliable D/A S/A made...

[TheMrhothead]

I think a sig with an external hammer chambered in .40 cal would be the best!

[weege100]

yes .45 acp

[dinosteak14]

no use 1911

[rifle22coach]

Yes 9mm

[SRCDLC]

nope

[4everyong2]

yes and in 40 S&W

[Sigp229TRT]

No!!! A new gun yes Glock no.......

[MavHunter20XX]

I advocate carrying the CZ 75 SP01 (maybe a phantom). 18rds weighs just as much as the barreta and better ergos.

[MeNewBee]

I am not a big fan of Glock only because I feel if one buys a 40cal, they should be able to fire any 40cal. As we know Glock can not fire lead therefore not good for Mil. They need to know that their weapon can fire any ammo that is offered of availble to them. I own a Glock 35T/40 and a old Beretta 92F, the 92F is over 30 years old with way over 50K rds without A PROblem, not even a spring. I am going to buy a gen4 glock only to give them another chance, BUT ????? So for now Still Beretta

[zboyco]

@MeNewBee all 9mm NATO ammo is FMJ so lead nosed unjacketed bullets wouldnt even be an issue

[COLT45keith]

@MeNewBee My Glock 23 fires anything i put in it...Where on a Glock does it say you can't shoot lead...

[TheNopedawg]

@shigeyuki9 actually the beretta 98 shoots a 9x21 round and the beretta 99 shoots a 7.65 mm cartridge. I was clearly stating that a 45.acp chambering would be nice. Might want to check your info?

[theXoverwatchXUSAF]

one the m9 has a thumb safety a must for ALL MILITARY weapons the glock doesnt second the standerd 9mm luger round is cheap and effective close and at a distance. My stance as a troop down range i say yes it should be replaced. I would say a large caliber like 40 or 357 would work but by what i have no prefence. Im a soilder i do as im told so i really dont care by what as long as it works and puts rounds on target.

[gidian]

btw the glock series was tested for nato and failed the trails

[BeanDip0913]

No sir. the m9 should be replaced but not with a glock. It should be replaced with an HK

[codwawlover45]

yes a glock 17

[Pebbsie]

Yes, in .40

[stealthyshooter]

what up Zboy

should the M9 be replaced by the glock ?

HELL NO!

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A 92FS KABOOM LIKE A GLOCK ???

that's what i thought...

peace

[IMFDB]

I'd say full sized 9, 40, or 45 for gloved hands. I personally hate how the M9 has a slide mounted safety, if it had a safety it should be mounted just about the frame next to the thumb.

[hurley242584]

M9 DONT THINK THE GLOCK WOULD FAIR GOOD IN A WARTIME ENVIORMENT AKA SAND THERE TOUGH BUT I THINK THE M9 IS TOUGHER AND MORE REALIABLE TRIED AND TRUE I KNOW I CARRIED ONE IN IRAQ FOR ALITTLE WHILE AS MY CHIEFS DRIVER . M9 WAS ALWASY SOLID AND READY

[myprshe]

Yes, either 9 or 40.

[mDavis762]

Yes.

9x19 or .40S&W, maybe 10mm... But probably 9 or 40.

[SNIPERSTEVE420]

Glock fersure. G30 maybe??

[OilTheGun]

Yes

[ChazOneZeroSeven]

maybe for police can have a glock but not the military. it should be beretta or 1911 i think.

[DABATT1]

No even though I love Glocks. The M9 is a good weapon. Perhaps with the proper training it could be done. I don't see it happening any time soon if ever. They should go Sig p226 chambereed in 9mm.,

[narckison1]

M&P 9 or M9?

[superdonkeyballs]

Glocks. I have one and I prefer it over the M9 or 1911.

[burrFTK]

they should use photon laser canons

[fomocowboy]

@bone1050 It was 1/3 of a minute. Why don't you settle down a bit.

[stickandrun]

no

[1278dave]

Yes, but, the military as far as I know still require an external safety on their sidearms.

[Glockcrazy19]

@1278dave Glock could easily toss a thumb safety on for the retards, as well as a suppressor ready barrel which was one of the requirements.

[UJS8X]

Yes, and if I were going to war, the Glock I would want in my holster would be the 10mm Auto Glock 20.

[koconcept]

glock or springfield would be better than the beretta crap they have now. i wouldnt trust my life to a beretta.

[ironlungdtoker]

@koconcept the ones that arent made in the usa work well

[halomadc115]

I think the military need a 45. Of some sort

[TheNopedawg]

I think if the g18 was standard issue to every soldier, our military would be bad ass. If 1 9mm job cant get the job done, then the remaining 32 rounds should. But then again 2 45.acp shots to the chest and one to the head from a g21sf should end most engagements. I wonder how much it would cost to change to all g18's. Also could the average soldier control the g18 or would they just spray up the place and waste ammo with a select fire pistol?

[italianboys82]

SW mp 45!!!!!

[GunzEveryWhere]

Im in the military , I would love if we would go to Glock. G20 would get it done more than enough firepower. Its hi cap too...

[3006USMC]

~GLOCK~

[CDWastelands]

I am a huge Glock fan, but the Beretta M9 is one hell of a firearm as well. I wouldn't mind either to be honest.

[Dmajorproductions]

hell yea, glock 21! .45 auto, 13 rd capacity, a multitude of lights, parts, modifications, and, in a perfect world, black talons ;)

[lilg563]

Probably so. I would think the glock 17. I chose 9mm because in the type of environment that it would be used in; more round are always better. 9mm is light and just as effective as any other round.

[stan628]

yes it should.

i prefer the g21sf of g21gen4.

another to consider g22gen4

[xxLSD25xx]

Glock 20. they are not allowed to use hollow point bullets because the Hague Convention :-/

[TheLachlan1000]

glock 22 40cal 4gen

[tflores1581]

I love the Glock 30 but I think g19

[Floridainfidel]

No, seeeing how their going to be coming after us let them keep the weak weapon.

[Anderson1777]

now this is slightly biased cause i dont think we soulda ditched the 1911 in the first place but i think a glock would be the better choice. they feel a lot more user-friendly (at least to me they do). The 9mm has limited stopping power too, glocks can be chambered in the .40 or even .45 without significantly lowering the mag capacity. The m9's open slide loves dirt. The glocks standard sights are easier to use than the m9s. so id go with the glock. but still.. i wish we'd go back to the 1911 :/

[joesphx19]

Not sure how an XD or XDm in .45 would hold up in war but in civilian use, 13 rds of .45 is a real comfort to me and my family. Otherwise, the 1911 is the manstopper, too many guys have said the M9 just doesn't make it.

[shootaglock]

g21 all the way

[renarudo1]

I say s&w m&p 45. That way we support an american manufacturer and keep jobs. The only improvement it would needs is a capacity upgrade to at least 14 IMO. If not that then the FNP 45 Tactical!!!

[777Carmine777]

I told you Zboy. It is clear. The people prefer 1911 .45 ACP It takes 15 rounds from Beretta when we can get the job done with 8. It is such a man's caliber don't you think. .45ACP FTW!!!

[werno175]

FNP 45 all the way 14 rounds of .45acp hell yeah

[TheNopedawg]

yes, glock 18 9mm luger or glock 21 45. acp. Problem with 45. is that ammo load out would be heavier and also 45. is not a nato cartridge. I saw in a buyers guide that the glock 21 is dubbed "americas glock" by the manufacturer in an effort to pitch the sale. The glock 21 sf was designed for military in mind but glock's design of the ambidextrous mag release sucks.

[AmericaStandsStrong1]

REPLACE THE M9 WITH A 1911

[LeftyFtw69]

yeah they should, and either in 9mm or .40

[Glockcrazy19]

FUCK YES

[bohdan1997]

No, the m9 was designed for military use the glock wasn't.

[chrome505]

From a logistic viewpoint go with a .45 made by FN ....with made in USA all over it.

[chrome505]

No no hell no...anything not 9mm...

[42cujo]

GLOCK 21 GEN 4 ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FutureMarineDevilDog]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[yayyo24]

They should replace with an American made gun!

[Jacksack123b]

is it fully auto? if it is....then use Armor piercing

[m15a1nv]

no they should replace the M9 with a 1911 in 45 acp.

[bohdan1997]

@m15a1nv You do know that the 1911 was the military issue pistol before the m9, right?

[m15a1nv]

@bohdan1997 yea. M9 fucking blows so does glock.

[LeftyFtw69]

@m15a1nv thats what the m9 replaced first

[m15a1nv]

@LeftyFtw69 no shit sherlock. M9 blows and so does glock.

[LeftyFtw69]

@m15a1nv lol just telling you i have no idea if you knew or not, but your right about the m9, but the glock is nice in .45 or .40

[Anderson1777]

@m15a1nv i agreee, they should never have replaced the 1911 to begin with.

[TheSmokeTube]

Fuck YES!

[67mustangreg]

XD45

[AGeekWithAShotgun]

fuck no, replace it with an FNP or a S&W MP 9mm.....

[MrGunAddiction]

YES .9mm or .45

[NRAman123]

1911 in .45 ACP BUT if there was to be a glock in the military it should be none other than the 10mm.. and the REMFs who are too small to shoot it can get the beretta!

[BALJIT147]

1911 in 45acp is what I would want if I was a soldier.

[LIFEisSICKNESS]

1911 45 acp

[LIFEisSICKNESS]

Sig 220

[zombiekillerjordan]

I whould like to see a FNP as the new side arm.

[TheAk47Enthusiast]

Glock 22 .40 S&W more damage than the 9mm but not to much recoil for the pussies that can't handle the .45

[yoyomyhoes]

yes 

[dsarti1]

why just 1 why not go back to the 1911 45acp and a glock in both 9mm and 45.. let the mission dictate the choice

[reneql8]

absolutely. 40 s&w

[thegeneral123]

Yes

[roughers93]

thus far ive herad of 5 different pistols that have a great chance to replace the m9(and i hope one of them do)

glock 21 sf, sig p220combat, M&P 45, fnp45, hk usp 45. personally if i had to take a go to war gun 45, fnp45 all the way.

[pray4chicken]

.40sw

[fbs9494]

But the military already issues grenades.

[richiestang78]

Up the caliber and anything but the overly large and heavy Beretta.

[Blk05titan26]

they should step up to a .40 IMO...as for glock or not...I Prefer The M&P

[ScorpionOwns]

I like Glock's. But the gun that really should replace the M9 as the US military sidearm is definetly the 1911. No discussions here.

[MrSailor91]

a sig would be an improvement over the beretta, but a 1911 is probly the best choice. im truely not interested in carrying a plastic gun into a fight.

[sungwei9]

I wouldn't say it'd be a bad move or that I'd be shocked. I say G21 45ACP.

[bisquik3006]

No way. I guess FN is the leading contract for replacing it, but I think the U.S. should only use established American companies. That is out the window because of the lowest bidder rule, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

[ps90tacguy]

never happen.

[GunPerson45]

yep, its better than the beretta, BUT!! the 1911 should be the replacement 45 acp ftw

[AK74Man87]

two G18s one for each hand lol.

[quimbyt]

Remember anything made for the U.S. military has to be made in the U.S. so they need a company with facilities already here.

[quimbyt]

I never liked it when they went with Beretta. Remember the whole point of going 9mm was to be in line with our allies during the Cold War. The 1911A1 proved to be a reliable sidearm for many years. They could have just converted the 1911A1s to 9mm it would have been cheaper. If they have to change sidearms then either Colt, S&W, or Remington. They will probably stay 9mm because of our allies.

[ridealotkid]

Hell yes!!! Glock 22!!!!

[MrZerostr]

I say implement the 1911 as the standard military sidearm.

.45 ACP> 9mm/40 S&W

[lpdavisakgto]

Yes flock is so much more reliable. 40

[apocolypse1022]

Give the troops a Hot Load - in 10mm

[FoodFolksandGuns]

Glock 17

[commieforniatactical]

Yes, G21 full size 45

[Gunluver1]

YES, G23 in .40

[DigitalHaze65536]

G17 Can use our existing 9mm, and is a much better gun then the Beretta M9.

[MrAcoleman9595]

I think so, with the .40.

[texastitansyahoocom]

Absolutely for the Glock. Caliber well, although I prefer the 40 over the 9. I believe we may be handcuff to using the 9mm. So, My choice is Glock 19.

[xReGAMINGPS3]

Yes

[homertalk]

9mm's for everyone

[auradud3]

NO

[armed2theteethH420]

glock 17s for everyone!!!

[MrKnox489]

YES, and to remain NATO compliant it would have to be 9 mil so I'd go with a G17.

[jeeperscreepers71]

not that i think the glock isnt reliable or high quality i dont think it could pass the trials because they compleatly disassemble the weapon hundreds of times i the constant removal of all the metal parts from the plastic parts would cause undue wear on the plastic parts and fail the pistol.

[tnoutdoors9]

If a Glock, the G22 using 180 FMJ's or G21 with 230 gr FMJ's.

[mrwhite4]

S&W M&P I think, US company and US made.

[Yahooblue42]

yea. Glocks r cool :P 9mm plz

[IraqiSniper107]

1911 All Day Long!

Semper Fi

[Machi74005]

If the Glock can be taken down, cleaned, and reassembled easier than the Beretta(which from what I understand is super easy), then sure. Glock 22.

[HunterTango384]

Glock 22. Easy,

[GlockDropNRoll]

Yes, Glock 22. A nice medium between the .45 and 9mm calibers, I think the .40 S&W would be the perfect choice. A .45 caliber pistol really isn't necessary, it's not the size of the bullet that makes it affective, it's the shot placement...

[fcvjr]

Ruger P series or the SR. Made in the USA and just as reliable as a Glock. Just check out the P97 5000 round test.

[NC77583]

HELL FUCKING NO!!!!!!! 1911 WOULD BE BETTER, BUT IF THEY WANT SOMETHING MODERN, GO FOR AN H&K OR SOMETHING, .40S&W, BUT NOT FUCKING GLOCK!!!!!!!

[SoapMactavish90]

Yes in 40,45,10mm,9mm, or 357. If not replaced by a glock then the Walther P99AS in 9mm

[kazetehskylord]

1911.

[odinnn510]

NO!

[RONNIEH33713]

no, i like the Berreta M9 its very simple to use and break down and clean

[pjicleanair420]

Get rid of the 9 mm at the very least

[TapRackBoom]

yes. easy to replace parts, one of the most proven designs. AND it comes in multiple calibers. I hope Glock(if the US adopts them)Lets us manufacture them, or opens up a factory here in the states. they can also go back to the gold ole .45 without the round limitation. or stick with 9mm and get 19 round mags.

[pjicleanair420]

Ofcourse, glock 21

[EliteAssassin0]

NEVER EVER

[scanor]

The Norwegian armed forces has been using the Glock 17 as a standard sidearm for over 20 years.. I dont see why the US Armed forces cant do the same. Although I think a Glock 22 would be a better choise

[KrazyCash]

I'm all for rennovation but I think they'd need a thumb safety to pass military guidelines. Correct me if I'm wrong, i'm not as up to date on the issue as some. But the Glock has a good track record. Not the best looking gun, and not my first choice, but not bad.

[sirmetalman890]

NO....

[tylerwhale666]

I would say so ..Give them a G22 or G21

[tacbishop]

No

[riverdave7]

Yes Glock 21.

[777Carmine777]

NO! 1911 .45ACP should be the replacement. 

[fire1777]

Yes, 23

[TheSwampcritter]

yes glock 17

[Sanjuro82]

S&W M&P might even be a better choice.

[Sanjuro82]

Yes. Glock 31.

[EliasFMJ]

Yes...21 or 17.

[swrve]

21 or 17

[Transporter1022]

21 indefinately

[jflw24]

Yes. Glock 21

[dajuan1104]

glock 22 gen4 ..that would b nice 

[223JMH]

Yes the Beretta should be replaced by a Glock 22 or 21.
