Return of the 45
Via James, it looks like the M9 is on its way out and will be replaced by the .45ACP. James thinks it will be a Sig.
Readers of SayUncle already knew about the Joint Combat Pistol (see here and Les’ post here) but I think this is the first report that didn’t come from a gun board.
Update: Tam says Nopers:
The pistol will replace the M9, but only for SOCOM. My money is currently with the USP45, whose dimensions, as it has been pointed out, are suspiciously similar to the max dimensions given in the RFP.

I’ve made this comment on every gun blog that has mentioned this, but nobody even pays attention to my comment:
Why is everyone fixated on the USP, Sig 220, and 1911?
Why doesn’t anyone think about the CZ-97?

Because I doubt it will even be submitted.
