>will most of them stick with the Glock 19

>>34389890
Who fucking knows? I just hope Marine Recon keeps using those new 1911s because muh history/muh autism

>>34390228
They have already stopped, for the most part.

>>34390291
Raiders main the switch to the Glock 19 a little while ago. Recon, however, still might use the 1911.

Probably. Might take a while if the p320 has teething issues though. Theyre close enough in specs/ability that it's unlikely keeping the g19 will outweigh the benefits of standardizing.

Serious question:
>Why don't they use the G17?

>>34390393
Probably because the Glock 17 is just a little too much gun for 9mm especially considering the Glock 19 is a compact making it easier to CC, which is something a lot of SOF units need to have the ability to do. But it's still big enough to be a general purpose sidearm. The thing I don't get is why the Rangers use the 19 when they don't really need to CC.

>>34390291
Videos of Force training on ranges and flight decks in the past year suggest they're still using the M45A1, at least in training.

>>34390291
yup, massive issues just because someone seriously >>34390228 'ed

>easier to CC, which is something a lot of SOF units need
t. I have no idea what most SOF even does

>I don't get is why the Rangers use the 19
It weighs a little less, is a handy size, takes up a little less room on the belt, which is desirable because most guys will never use it anyway

When certain units like, Army SF, Marine Raiders, SEALs, and of course SMU's like Delta and DEVGRU will do low vis or low profile operations involving close protection, special recon, other shit that the former three probably rarely do, they need to be able to conceal carry in civilian clothing.
