Explain to me again why the m&p didnt get into the military pistol trials despite being as good if not better than the glock 19x, beretta m9a4(which they didnt submit, instead retardedly going for the apx) and p320
Might have been deemed too busy with police contracts, that sort of thing gets taken into account in vendor selection. Or if you wanna get conspiratorial, might have been too competitive and been hard to convincingly select the Sig entry; since the hateful antisemitic theory that Sig was the chosen sole-source for all future small arms acquisitions has been floating around for years.
>>65501604It's literally all quid pro quo and whatever the old boomer generals like. Same goes for police contracts. Agencies end up with Sig because some old boomer responsible for the decision likes Sig, or Glock, or 1911s so they shell out for Stacattos. That's just how it goes. Obviously M&P is the practical choice as it doesn't jam, but there's a lot more bullshit considerations before it can be a real contender.
>>65501604Ugh, we've been over this before!
1.0 fucked the m&p reputation hard. Cops adopted it and s&w shit all over them. Stuff like minimal support blaming the cops for malfunctions. Rolling updates. Basically a nightmare for armorers. You complain about glock glock bends over backwards to make it work replacement guns they go out of the way to train your guys. Basically free parts and will pay for the guns you were using before they bought glocks. If a glock is suspect they just replace it. S&w tried to deflect everything. No thats not an issue prove its an issue sue us to get anything done. Shitshow that burned what good will they had. Even if they fixed everything for the 2.0 their bad support proved fuck those guys they wont help when stuff goes wrong.
>>65501604Do you think gorilla chicks are thinking to themselves >check him out!>that is one sexy ass man!>i hope he makes me boom boom him!What is it with that face? Is it a sexy gorilla face?
