New Standard-Issue on Military Sidearm

Members of the United States Army have been yearning for a new sidearm pistol for the past year. With a new contract in the making, many guns and gun companies such as the M&P, General Dynamics (GD), etc. have been entering this huge competition. The official contract will not be released until January of 2015.

For the past three decades, the US Army has been using the Berretta M9 semiautomatic. Before that, they had the M1911 from Colt. This was the starting of semiautomatic pistols. In fact, for ninety years, this gun was on the side to many Americans. The M1911 pistol was issued through wars such as Vietnam, both World Wars, Philippines, etc.

The U.S. Army are just "looking for a new modular handgun system that can easily be adjusted to fit all hand sizes." Reportedly there has been an increasing desire for lighter guns. More and more gun owners are having their gun handle and frame replaced with plastic. The Glock is one of the most popular lightweight pistols that is bought in the United States.

Imagine of a handgun with plastic frame
